My number one weekend tip is to keep a glass of water next to your fridge, or wherever else you keep snack food. Then when you head for those things, you have to drink the entire glass AND refill it before you can get anything to eat. By the time I've done that, I've usually distracted myself enough to be able not to snack.
On the weekends I have less control over what I eat as I live at home with 8younger siblings so it would be wild if I ate something different than the rest of the family. So again, I always drink a large glass of water before I eat, and I try to run to the computer and put whatever we are having into My Daily Plate before I eat it. That usually keeps me from overeating as well. We usually have a menu for at home, and sometimes on Friday I'll figure out exactly what I'll be having all through the weekend, and plan out my snacks/treats.
I don't eat extremely healthy, but here are some of my favorite snacks.
1 graham cracker with 1 tbsp peanut butter - 190 calories
small pkg of Cheez-It - 180 calories
toast with 1/4c. shredded cheese melted on top - 130 calories
Fiber One Caramel & Oats bar - 140 calories
and for when you really need a treat
1/3 c. Dutch chocolate icecream - 110 calories
