The way to do that is to eat [unsalted] sunflower seeds in the
shell: you spend most of your time shelling them, not eating
them.

My husband and I [neither with any weight problem] are both
seed addicts. I order unshelled sunflower seeds online 11lbs
at a time for him. I sit around crunching unshelled pumpkin
seeds, last order for 8lbs. Stay away from salted; the salt
gets to you [tastewise] if you're going to eat so many.

If you're fanatic about what the house looks like,
you'll also get a lot of extra exercise sweeping the
floors almost continuously.
