Snacks can be incorporated into a healthy diet. However, without awareness & portion control, snacking can also lead to excess calories & weight gain.
People eat for many reasons... including stress, boredom, fatigue, or habit. Suggestions:

- Try distracting yourself. Keeping your mind or hands busy may help eliminate or postpone a snack (which is actually a "new" potential weight loss tool... http://www.webmd.com/diet/news/20120130/new-weight-loss-strategy-postponing-snack).
