2. Eat a Salad
Salad will also helps to fill you up before your main course. Try your best to avoid those high fat salad dressing.
3. Get Your Sleep
Lack of sleep has been proven to increase weight gain. From a non scientific point of view, it makes sense the more we are up the more tend to eat. When you are on the road visiting family or friend don't forget to get a good night rest (6-8 hours).

snacks just take 1 or 2 pieces.
