Freelance therapist of the Ministry of Health spoke about proper nutrition under stress
According to the expert, when stressed, there is a need to “seize” it with high-carbohydrate and fatty foods, so you need to choose healthy food. If this does not help, you should contact a nutritionist or psychotherapist.
A person should distinguish between the physiological manifestation of hunger and the one that develops with a high level of stress, since it is in the second case that he has a desire to eat junk food. Oksana Drapkina, chief freelance therapist of the Russian Ministry of HEALTH, told RBC about this, the department told RBC.
According to her, a person begins to experience a specific appetite for certain foods when he feels angry, tired or resentful.
“Try to observe yourself, to be aware. Once you recognize "stress eating," continue to eat, but just be aware, "I'm not doing this because I'm hungry, but because I'm tired and sad." The next time you experience the same symptoms, try saying to yourself, “Stop! It’s not hunger, it’s fatigue,” she said.

At the moments when there is a desire to "seize" stress, the therapist advised to use cottage cheese with a fat content of no more than 5%, egg white, poultry MEAT without visible fat and skin, cucumber, tomato, carrot or celery, as this will not harm the metabolism.
