I do the same thing! I can't help it! But here are a few tips- Paint your nails with a gross tasting nail polish, Every time you want to bite your nails sit on your hands (my mom did it and hasn't bit her nails since), find something else to play with when your bored (that's when I bite my nails)! Hope
these help!

Apply hand lotion so you taste it and avoid biting your nails. Also keep your nails short until you break this habit or wear nail polish. Some people just have flexible nails. Here are some ways to get them into better shape.
I used to have soft, peeling nails so I stopped using a nail clipper and only use a nail file to shape and shorten them.
I also started protecting my nails with thicker moisturizers.
I use a cuticle balm or nail oil to moisturize my nails and protect them from water since I wash my hands frequently.
(ex. Solar Oil, OPI Avoplex)
Vit E oil, jojoba oil, Aquaphor Healing Ointment, Vaseline or plain Chapstick will work too.

Well I put on nail polish, several coats so that when i bite them, I got a nasty taste in my moust and kept my finger out. i know its weird but it works. So whever i start going for my finger, i pull away aware that im going to get an unwanted taste.

if the bad tasting nail polish doesn't work, harsher measures will be needed - put tobasco chilli sauce on your nails, it'll burn the raw skin you've managed to bite away! and then if you try to bite again, it'll burn your tongue!
But the acrylic nails worked for me!

Put nail polish remover on your nails, then when you go to bite them it will taste bad and remind you not to do it again!

Clip your nails as short as possible. Clip the skin you bite too, but be careful and don't clip too deep. That hurts.
