When it comes to snacks, debate what you are looking for in a snack. It's not always about hunger, and if you address it right you can deal with the hunger more effectively.
If you're pregnant just go with the craving. Your body knows it what it wants so pay attention to it. Only see a doctor if it involves something extreme such as dirt.
Diabetics should look for snacks that are high protein and/or high dietary fiber. The goal is to find something that either has little sugar (the high protein part) or has a lot of fiber (the more fiber involved the less likely it is is to become sugars later on). Also avoid sugar alcohols as they may actually increase blood sugars.
Athletes should debate high protein and a drink with electrolytes. The latter is to restore chemical levels, and the former is to help in muscle and bone growth. Combined they can curb after-exercise rage some athletes experience.
Students from junior high up usually also need a pick-me-up. A glass of juice and a snack bar should provide the necessary energy and are a lot healthier than a coke and a candy bar.
If you're planning on drinking, eat accordingly. Carbs are your friend here as they help soak up the alcohol, and fats help one your stomach,preventing alcohol absorption. Proteins are also a good thing. Buffalo wings are great, especially with some thick buttered toast, or something like a half of a pastrami sandwich.
