    I can't top @diannethegeek excellent post - that's web gold there.

    Everyone has a filling food - something that really sticks to your ribs and gives you that satisfying sensation of fullness. I'm a late night snacker too - all habit based. I like to relax at the end of the day and catch up on the DVR when the wife and kids are asleep. I just learned to substitute chips with carrots and hummus - also drinking water 30 mins before meal times helps tremendously. Try logging the times throughout the day when you feel hungry and try to determine if it's really hunger or just habit.

    Ditto!

    Beyond her suggestions, the other thing that helped me was eating lots of high-volume, low calorie foods with my lunch and dinner. For me, that was a big bowl of salad (no dressing), along with lots of vegetables with dinner. With that, I maintained a feeling of fullness for a long time, and rarely felt hungry.
