question

i dont know if this is the right place to ask but if its not then im sorry!!!

ive been noticing that ive been thinking about food SO MUCH lately, and i keep looking forward to when i can eat, for example after dinner, all i want to do is just go sleep so i can wake up and have breakfast

and ive been noticing that ive been getting EXTREME hunger cues (not physically though??? just really distracting cravings ig??) especially in the evenings and/or after dinner (~8 pm) i usually try not to snack much since i find that it just makes me hungrier if that makes sense? but after ive been having those weird mental hunger cues i decided to try snacking a bit to see if it'd change anything and it didnt. just made me hungrier.

what do i do in this situation?? if i 'listen to my body' ill end up eating way over my calories and mess everything up.

do i try eating bigger more filling meals so i wont feel the need to snack or do i have smaller, more frequent meals???

also idk if this is important or not but ive been craving nuts SO much lately, or anything salty.
