Eating like a cow so you can lie to yourself about not snacking.
means To eat small amounts of food casually or continuously over time, rather than sitting down to a proper meal.
from From Old English 'grasian,' tied directly to 'grass' — originally just what livestock did in a field. English started stretching it onto people in the 1800s, first as a joke about eating constantly and lightly like cattle in a pasture, then as the polite, faintly clinical word your nutritionist uses instead of 'you keep eating chips all day.'
