Some people feel that by snacking they will stay full and will not over eat. There is some truth to this. However, you may be creating a habit that becomes associated with a task.
Example: How often to you go to the movies and don't buy popcorn? Do you eat popcorn when you go shopping or while cleaning the bathtub?
Snacking can create habits that make you want to eat certain foods when you are not even hungry. This can result in over eating. If you want to prevent eating too much at meals don't spread your meals out too far. If you have lunch at noon and dinner at 7:00pm you will probably eat more than you need. Try eating your meals about four hours apart and no more than five. By doing this you will need to eat four meals a day. The result is that you will never get to the point that you are starving and end up overeating while preventing eating snacks as a habit.
