Anxious about food

Do any of yall get really anxious about your next meal or snack? I'm on a meal plan that was given to me by my nutritionist and right after I get done with one meal I'm anxious about the next one! My mind is constantly on food! I have to keep myself busy just so I can get my mind on something else! And it's not like I constantly eat or anything like that; like I would never let myself eat more than what is on my food plan; I just can't stop thinking about food! When I go to bed I think about breakfast; and after breakfast I think about lunch; and after luch I think about afternoon snack; and after snack I think about dinner; and after dinner I think about bed time snack and then the vicious cycle starts all over again! Does anyone have any advice on how to stop these obsessive thougths or do any of yall expericence this? Thanks in advance!

How large are the meals that your nutrionist has you eating? Maybe if you switched to five smaller meals rather than 3 big meals, it would be easier for you to be comfortable with.
But to answer your last question, I find on the days I do better with eating 5 small meals, I just think about food less. Strange, I know, since that's 5 times I'm in the kitchen, but when trying to follow the three meals thing, I get so stressed about what a "meal" is. That's especially hard for me as I'm vegetarian and my meals often don't resemble the standard meal in the US
