Soliciting snacking advice during this lockdown

...See more Dear all, I'm taking a break from my job (not really optional - we are between projects). Since I travel for work a lot and often live in hotels or other temporary living arrangements, I'm living with my family during this break. I was living really healthy before (my job is a lot of physical labor - and I was able to only consider my own food needs so it was easy to choose what would work best for me) but now that I'm locked down and living with my whole family (parents, sister, grandmother) it is much harder. While the weather was nice I was going out for a (cautious: double facemask and appropriate distancing) run every day, but the last two days it has been snowy. I have been cooped up in the house. I do about 30-40 min of yoga and strength training everyday - but I'm missing my heart rate being raised in a healthy way since it really helps regulate my anxiety and depression. I struggle regulating my eating if I don't have a set schedule and I have a really loose one at best right now. I also didn't have access to weed before (while I was working) and now I do. It gives me the munchies something awful - but I also use it a lot to work up an apetite in general and get some reasonable sleep. The whole situation is exacerbated by the fact that my sister and grandmother rarely are eating enough so this is frequently a difficult balance to strike with my own needs to be eating a bit less. I want to get ahead of this before I start loosing positive progress I had made. So, does anyone have some good tips on snacking less, especially in the evenings? making better choices during family dinners? or ways to sneak cardio in when you are cooped up indoors? I apologize if something similar has been asked recently! I would appreciate being pointed towards similar ongoing conversations!
