I pre-log a snack every night.

Me too. I'm a nighttime snacker, so I always leave calories for after dinner.

So I have a treadmill and I'm pretty sedentary at work. I will often walk slowly on the treadmill to get my steps in late at night (Fitbit user but I started with a pedometer) Generally I won't feel like snacking after that. Or walk my dogs.

Hi. I will usually have an orange, apple or a bowl of cereal. the best thing to do is plan on incorporating a snack into your calories for the day. You don't want to deprive yourself because that is when you will go on a hog wild snacking binge. I will even have a couple pieces of chocolate squares depending on how many calories I have left. It is now at the the point those couple of chocolate squares satisfies my craving for something sweet. that is much better having that than having a whole chocolate bar, which I have done but counted it in my allowed calories. That hurt?? Also prepackage snack food into small baggies of the allotted calories for that snack so you can see what you are eating instead of eating out of the original bag. they say you can have everything in moderation, other stuff is better that others. chew peppermint gum, that also takes the urge to eat away. Good luck!!
