The snack thing is a tough one for sure. Your best bet is carrot sticks, celery or light yogurt with some grape nuts in it. Angel food cake is another good one. You can eat lots of that.
The key (to be honest) is everything in moderation. The best way to control intake is to obliterate it with some good old fashioned cardio in your work-out. Walking is great, treadmill is great, biking, and of course the best in my opinion, the stair master. If you balance how much fat you're burning off, you can seriously eat anything in moderation.
The good thing about cardio is it steps up your metab. The more you can boost the metab, the more you can remove the bad stuff. If you want to eat bad food, you gotta work it off...that's the trade-off. If you eat healthier, you don't have to work it off as much and you can get away with some sort of cardio in small doses every day or larger doses every other day.
The problem with listening to "them" (dr's, scientists etc) is they change their tune every 10 years. If you do anything in life in moderation, most times you will be ok. I like 2 small meals for breakfast/lunch (sometimes I skip lunch) and a larger meal for dinner. No eating after 7 pm for me...period, end of story. If I get the munchies, I may grab a yogurt, a nectarine or a bottle of Ensure. There's lots of vitamins in that stuff and it can really curb your appetite. It tastes great too! Fat free pretzels without salt I may hit up from time to time. If I get too hungry late at night, water usually fills me up and makes me forget I'm hungry. But definitely consider some sort of work-out just to keep your body tuned. Keeping that metab in check is really important as you will go to the bathroom a bit more, but you're removing ruffage which is important.
If you smoke weed...well, that will always be a downfall for munchies. You'll eat anything and everthing and nothing will save you. LOL! :)

My favorite snack at the minute is a handful of walnut pieces, a handful of almonds and a large handful of Goji berries. It's a taste sensation.

I did a regular cardio workout for 2 years and reached a plateau where I still had some excess weight that I just couldn't get rid of. I was doing around 90-120 mins a day of moderate rate exercise and figured I should be a lean machine, but I never quite got there. So I did two things. First was to switch my workout to a shorter session of high-intensity intervals (I do 60 seconds flat out, then 30 seconds rest, for a total of 40 minutes, but you can switch those times around to start). Second was to cut out (or minimize) bread and cereal. I lost 10lbs in a month and a half. It was quite dramatic. Switching to interval training was the best thing I ever did, I'm so much fitter and leaner now.

I asked my doctor about exercise. He paused, then said that he was conflicted. On one hand, he relished the idea that I would suffer during the workout. On the other, there was a chance I would live longer, and that's a no win scenario.
I'm not sure, but I'm beginning to think he may not have my best interests at heart.

There's a trap in starting the physical excercise in order to lose weight. If you have overweight, you are already used to eating more than you burn. And then...
A person who has not been an active mover usually hugely over estimates the energy consumption during exercise. After a 45 minute walk-jog-walk-jog and some sit ups he eats five times more than what he's burned.
I'm lightly built and my feet don't allow jogging on hard surface. Ten years ago, when I bought a ... what do you call those in english? ..like a watch that registers your pulse, energy consumption and everything you need to know ..
Anyways...I was shocked to find out that a 4 mile intensive walk-jog (pulse between 110-125) and 45 minutes of 3 sets of sit-ups, push ups, pull ups, some back- and leg-exercises and stretching, spend about as much calories as there is in one moderate sandwich and a bottle of beer.
So, in my experience, before eating after exercise, one should always wait about an hour and sip a little something, with a bit of energy, maybe take an apple or something. That helps to keep you from over eating. DO NOT take a big meal in front of you!
The energy that keeps you moving you eat a couple of hours before the exercise.
The ones who are active, knowledgeable movers do know these things, so this is for the ones who think they are sporty if they move two hours a week. Self deception is tempting.

My brother! :P Fruits, nuts, veggies, low fat cottage cheese for proteins, yogurt, and a whey shake every now and then... I find that the less crap I put in my body, the less I feel inclined to indulge. So usually, when we settle down somewhere where we have a real fridge and can do a real grocery, it's only a matter of a few days before my system cleans up and stops craving the bad stuff. Like, we've been here for a week, eating mostly healthy stuff. If I think of, say, a pizza right now, it's almost as if I were to drink oil from a bottle and a few tablespoon of salt. That's what my mind has come to associate junk food w/ so I don't feel like eating that stuff... I don't miss it. Though I may miss missing it. lol

If you're eating plenty of natural, raw food then you're getting a lot of enzymes. There are certain of those enzymes which reduce craving for starchy food.
One thing I've done recently is switch from skimmed milk to full fat milk. Skimmed milk is basically the grey water left over when they make cream, to which they add a little milk powder to make it whiter. It's horrible. The fat that's in milk is actually very beneficial (in reasonable quantities) and it facilitates the absorption of the nutrients in the milk. There have also been studies done which show that kids raised on skimmed milk are more likely to become obese than those raised on full fat milk.

Per the doctors, popcorn, nuts and dark chocolate are healthy snacks. However, since I believe that being healthly is a state of mind, I continue to eat whatever sounds good at the moment.

1: Yogurt with fresh blueberries and granola. 2: Jerky 3: Becan 4: Dubliner Cheese 5: (my fav) Oyster stew made from a can of oysters and two cans of milk... add butter, yum! 6: When I am really lazy... Chef Boyardee mini ravioli right out of the can with a load of Parmesan cheese added about every three bites. 7: I almost forgot... half a dozen raw eggs stirred in a glass... quick and good! Follow it with a glass of Ovaaltine and you will be good to go!

Danny, we've had our differences, and tend to avoid each other ... but dude, I have to break silence and tell you, when I read this, for maybe the second time in my adult life, I pissed myself laughing. Victory is yours! If you smoke weed...well, that will always be a downfall for munchies. You'll eat anything and everything and nothing will save you. LOL! :)
Rumor has it that if you eat a little something before hand, you don't get the munchies.
