Another trick is to actually log EVERYTHING into a calorie counter, (Myfitnesspal is one) for a week of fast and feast days. On those days when you go over you may find that you don't by much, or as I found once, I didn't even reach my TDEE yet I thought I had totally lost it.
One of my tricks, that I actually enjoy, is to make up a bowl of coleslaw or crudities, but add lemon juice or balsamic vinegar instead of mayonnaise, then when I head for the fridge I have this fresh, tasty, crunchy large bowlful of finger food that I can nibble or scoff as the desire takes me. The flavours and texture are just what I need, especially if its 'mouth boredom' that's got me rummaging.
An added bonus is that it helps with any constipation issues you might have too.
