Ok I'm having a bad day. Total binge. I have 200 calories left for dinner (I could go over, but then I'd go over my TDEE as my goal is my TDEE).
What's the most filling dinner you can find for 200 calories? Thinking bag of frozen veggies and some ham steak or something.

You've still got the 245 calories you were short on Monday. CICO isn't completely a daily thing--just keep your average for the week and you'll be fine.0

Yeah but I still want to lose a couple pounds so I'm trying to keep a deficit most days.0
-
Nothing too filling for that little calories unless you do some extra excercise and eat back those calories.0
-
If you get desperate, I've done albacore tuna straight from the can, no mayo or Miracle Whip... protein fills you up. Throw it on some green beans and it might not be half bad.0

Just eat a little less tomorrow then. Like I said, it's all an average.0

What is TDEE?

hard boiled eggs with tomato and a couple crackers.0

This recipe is for chicken, each drumstick is 106 calories... I don't know if 2 drumsticks would fill you up, but it's a delicious recipe. I did it last night and I have leftovers for today's lunch.

Cereal is a good one when I am in a pinch. My go to, now, is protein cheerios. Love the stuff. I was shocked at the volume per serving. A serving size is 1¼ Cup. It's 210 calories and with Skim it's 250.
Adjust the servicing size for your needs. You'll still be surprised at the volume.
Another is soup. Many Progresso soups are 200 calories for a whole can (2 servings).

I would probably have a bag of frozen vegetables and a chicken breast.0

I got to try those protein cheerios!0

Whenever I'm short on calories for the day I exercise so I can eat more

Lots and lots of low cal vegetables like broccoli and/or green beans, etc, plus a boiled egg?0

Omelette (just one egg) with tomato, mushroom, onion and low-fat cheese. Tastes good and easy to make 0

Fill up on veggies, and throw a little bit of protein in (maybe an egg or tuna)0

I just ate a bag of frozen broccoli with Tuscany seasoning and it was great and filling!

I'm having a large eating day myself. My plan is tuna with avocado (I'm allergic to mayo anyway). It's an awesome alternative. You may go over in calories a little bit, but you can always balance it out by going on a 20 minute run!0 -
BIG salad with fruit (apple or pear), spinach, and goat cheese. So yummy and low cal. Just toss with balsamic and some fresh ground pepper.0

2 eggs and a piece of bread, I like to coat the bread in the eggs and fry them together, lazy man's french toast lol0

Gigantic veggie omelet! I'd use 4 eggwhites-68 calories, 4 cups of raw spinach-28 calories, half a red bell pepper-16 calories and 150 grams of mushrooms-33 calories. Grand total-145 calories, which leaves you enough for either half an ounce of lowfat cheese, or a little bit of fruit. I like hotsauce on mine for a bit of kick. And it's a LOT of food.0

Yeah but you don't 'add' them. It's an average for the week. So if you consistently eat over, you will gain weight.
Of course I could eat less tomorrow, but I know that might not happen, so I'd rather try and stay under my goal today. Good ideas here, I'll figure out something, lol.0 -
bag of frozen veggies into some clear broth for soup and then some protein in addition or added into.0

Sounds great, but I don't have broth
