Snacking Ettiquette

NOTE: You might have read earlier about my recent commitment to a healthy food and fitness routine, and I'm currently no longer on a strict diet or exercise plan. I'm eating what I like, but considering the costs of each thing I eat (i.e. a lot of grapes versus one piece of chocolate).

Every sandwich deserves something crunchy on the side. It's pretty much a rule.

Tonight, we picked up a sub from Wegman's and ate it at home, saving money by pouring our own drinks and eating from the large bag of chips we have in the pantry. I pulled out about ten chips to go with my sub sandwich.

As I ate, I balanced the ratio of sandwich to chip. And when I finished my sandwich, I had three leftover chips on my plate. And what a moment I found myself in. What should I do? What do you do? What are you supposed to do?

1. Eat the three chips even though you aren't that hungry
2. Toss them in the trash with your napkin and onions that fell out of the sandwich
3. Put them back into the bag of chips

I was almost embarrassed that I did the last of the options. I found myself not hungry and aware that those three chips had about 50-75 calories. I found myself thinking that I shouldn't eat them - especially because I wanted to split some Twizzlers with Bryan. I found myself thinking I'll just throw them away. And then I worried that at some point in the future, I would go to get chips for my sandwich and wish that there were just a few more. So I put them back.

I can't decide if this makes me thoughtful or just plain crazy.
