I'll assume here you're talking about eating outside your main meals, and you're mainly eating for that dopamine reward.
Usually low calorie snacks (fruits, veggies, etc) are a good choice, but even eating too much of them can be detrimental. Best alternative IMO is finding something that distracts you from continuously eating. Preferably some activity that requires your attention and needs your hands active (so just watching a video isn't gonna work in this case: it's easy to continue eating while watching something).
In my case, I'd start doodling and fiddling with Lego blocks or something.
