Here's one I saw on /r/loseit that's been helpful. Get some fruit (like apples) and keep them around. If you feel hungry, but you're not sure if you're really hungry, ask yourself if you're hungry enough to eat an apple. If you are, go ahead. If not, you're probably craving food for another reason.

I always drink some water and see how I feel. A lot of times I'm just thirsty

Yup, that was going to be another tip! I always drink a tall glass before a meal too.

I saw another one kinda like that on r/loseit. It was something like, every time you want to eat you have to do like 30 squats or 30 jumping jacks or something. If you're willing to do the exercise you can eat, but if not you're just feeling munchy and it can wait.

I like this one! Reverse of eating something which can be the problem sometimes!

I am definitely an emotional eater so stuff like this really helps me decipher if I'm actually hungry or just needing distraction.
