Are you often reaching for snacks late at night without even realizing it? Lisa Fligor, Wellness Dietitian at Tahoe Forest Health System, dives into the common habit of mindless evening snacking and what may be driving it.

She suggests practical ways to tune into your hunger cues, like asking yourself if a balanced meal, such as chicken and rice, would be just as appealing as that bag of chips.
