yes, I tend to gravitate to hi fat/hi carb foods... ( which I am staying way from as much as possible). But I think mine is more about portion control. As long as I am sitting at the table,, I con't to nibble.... a pinch of this, a bite of that.... so
I vow once my portion controled plate is clean, to immediately get up and do the dishs..... nothing left in arms reach to nibble on...

I HAD the portion control problem but then I started to weigh and measure everything. It is at the point I don't have to do that I know what a 1/2 c of rice looks like or 4 oz of chicken. I snack on popcorn all the time. I have a popcorn popper so it is only 10 cal per cup I make a big 8 cup container full every other day. I am eating about 4 cup per day which is filling and only 40 calories total. That is not all at once when I get hungry between meals it is baby food or popcorn that I eat.
I never realized the heath benefits of popcorn until I googled it so I would suggest snack on plain popcorn.
I also snack on natural puffed rice and puffed whole wheat cereal. 1/2 c is only 30 calories with 1/2 c milk at 45 calories it a filling snack for a only 75 calories. I eat alot during the day but I read EVER package and count every calorie. I like cereal as a bedtime snack. Because it is whole grains it makes you sleep better too.

Wal-Mart sells a microwave popcorn popper.... wonderful invention... you use regular popcorn (much cheaper than the package stuff) You season as you like
Darn, I was just there an hour ago. I'll look next time. Thanks...
