What do you do when the cravings or munchies hit ya?

My rule is that if I genuinely feel hungry I'll have a piece of fruit and drink a glass of water (for me usually fizzy). I do this even if it puts me over my calories (I figure it's not going to tip me over nearly as much as my old munchies).

sit ups, push ups, squats.

I agree with most of what is posted above. i begin with a gladd of water. If I'm still hungry I have nuts or some veggies. I love sugar snap peas. If i have a real desperate cravign for somthing like chocolate or a cookie I eat it. But just one piece or one cookie. I find if I don't then i just keep eating other "good" snacks that don't satisfy me and eat more calories in the end.

I just drink water and that usually clears it up. Thirst is often mistaken for hunger, and I personally have found that I dry out pretty easily. Doing some kind of activity to take you mind off of it helps, particularly a physical activity.

BUT, if none of that does the trick, munch some fruit or veggies. I'll often have Nutella on Ezekiel bread as a snack as it can be pretty low cal (depending on how much Nutella you use) and filling.

I follow the advice of Dr Oz.... I limited the variety of foods; therefore, the cravings have been reduced. For breakfast and lunch they are usually a limited number of choices I eat...dinner is a different story. But I have found my snack that satisfies...butter popcorn...yes butter actually butter flavor topping. I eat a healthy (portion sized) dinner but if it doesn't satisfy ...at least two cups of slowly eaten popcorn will satiate me and if I have a sweet tooth...either a popsicle or a piece ...I mean a piece of chocolate... Of course I been watching what I eat since last August of 2009. I started to lose weight prior to signing on with myfitnesspal ( my son-in-law a nutiriounist encouraged me to sign on) so in reality I lost over 70lbs.
