You eat as much as you need to so that you will feel full. Snack as little as possible.
If you are feeling really hungry you are probably not eating enough fat. I know, I know! This is different than what we have been taught the past few years. We just need to be sure we are eating healthy fats.
Don't eat anything a few hours before going to bed.
