If you tend to snack here are a few easy rules to live by that will help improve weight and health issues related to your snacking:

• Make healthy snacks and have them ready – if you wait till you are hungry and a healthy snack will take a little longer to make you will make more unhealthy choices
• Never snack after 7pm – anything you eat later in the evening may not be fully digested before you go to bed, this can then increase weight and decrease sleep quality.
• Keep snacks small – they are snacks not meals.  If you need to snack regularly you may not be eating enough at mealtimes(increase the amount of vegetables on the plate) or you may just be bored or thirsty.
• Take a drink of water first – often we confuse thirst with hunger
