“Boredom eating” or “food thoughts”

Hi guys, I’m in early days of my 2nd recovery! I’m aiming to eat 3 meals and 3 snacks but also honouring my mental and physical hunger when I need to.
When I’m studying, I feel a constant need to eat. I don’t know if I just need some extra stimulation to keep me concentrating but I’ll snack on literally anything. I try to keep fruit, hot drinks, biscuits etc with me but I eat them so quickly and can’t space them out during the day! Has anyone else experienced this?
