6. Some people are just in the habit of snacking. Define if your "craving" is just that or determine if you are just the type who enjoys small amounts of food at a time. So make them healthier snacks instead. Have an apple with a cheese stick, raw vegetables with hummus, fruit with a small handful of nuts, even a mini bag of popcorn can fill in some gaps
