It could be the timing of your meals. If you eat lunch at 12:00PM and dinner at 8:00PM and nothing in between, sure you're going to be hungry before dinner and start snacking on whatever is quick to grab. If you eat lunch at 12:00PM and supper at 4:00PM, you stand less of a chance to snack between meals. Also you may not be eating enough. If you're trying to keep everything low-fat, then you will have to eat more to get your total cal. needs in. Low-fat food has a tendance to be low in cal. as well. That doesn't mean you pig out, but you do have to try to eat the right amount of cal. your body needs. Snack on some fruit or nuts instead of the chocolate chip cookies.

It is normal to crave various foods every now and then; however, you shouldn't be craving the stuff everyday. Cravings can be brought on by emotional stress, hormones, or hunger. It isn't wrong to give into a craving, if you do not over eat what you are craving. Sometimes you can even find a less evil substitute to curb those cravings. Chocolate flavored rice cakes are better to eat than candy bars. Hershey's kisses are ok too, if you're happy with just 1 or 2. It's when you polish off a 1/2 - whole bag of candy, you know you're in trouble.
