    I find that I snack more when I don't drink enough water, so I leave a pitcher of it on the kitchen counter to remind myself to keep drinking.

    So... EAT something if you are hungry. If you are physiologically hungry (pains, growling, weakness) EAT! You dont have to eat bad for you food. Eat something good for you. A handful of nuts. A piece of fruit. Veggies.... i eat right up until I go to bed. If I dont, I wouldnt get even half of my required calories. And if I burn off some doing exercise... Forget about it. And I can tell you I am shrinking like crazy.

    Like PNCTink said, yes--chug some h2o! Also, snacks are actually good if you plan them into your day--try having smaller portions at your meals, and then plan-in some snacks :happy: I'm no expert, but often/smaller meals are supposed to boost your metabolism, too--BONUS!!!

    build in a snack for every afternoon! Your body is trying to tell you something! I always make sure to plan my days like this: breakfast-snack-lunch-snack-dinner. sometimes if i have extra calories (from working out or something) I will have a snack after dinner. Then you never have the big dips and super hungry periods.

    When you're craving something tasty, but your not hungry, drink some flavored tea (be careful with adding sugar, though). If you want to actually chew some food, try celery (it's great when it comes to nutrition), cucumber, cabbage and lettuce- they have almost no calories.
