Having a healthy snack is about fresh real food and keeping the serving size small.  If trying to lose weight, keep snacks around 100-200 Calories.

Keeping a snack in your purse or in the car can help when you are stuck somewhere and are starving.  If you can grab something healthy then you might not reach for that unhealthy snack when you do eventually get to eat and you also might be less likely to overeat.

Drink plenty of water.  The signal that your brain sends to you that alerts you that you are hungry is the same signal that is sent when your body needs water.  You might feel hungry when all your body actually needs is water.

You are made of mostly water so stay ahead of thirst.  Once you are thirsty it is too late.  You are already dehydrated.

Water also helps you lose weight.  It is needed to filter out the waste (excess fats).
