Filling 200 calories dinner?

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.
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

Water and a bouillon cube?0 -
If you don't eat back exercise calories....I have made a very filling egg scramble with one egg + 3 egg whites + veggies + salsa. Mmm....I also have this for breakfast if I want to "save" more calories for a dinner out.0

Welp since you're not listening about going over and under tomorrow instead, I'd consider either a can of tuna, a hunk of cooked chicken/turkey, or a protein smoothie.0

A huge salad with hard boiled egg and no dressing. Just avoid avocados, potatoes or corn since they ae high in calories. You can pretty much eat as much veggies as you want. Or a vegetables soup.0

I'm listening, I just don't want to do it, because for me it's not as easy as saying 'I'll eat less tomorrow'. My goal is to keep a 200 calorie deficit and I'm already failing at it most days because some days I just get bad cravings or I just get really hungry... it's just not realistic for me to start thinking 'I'll make up for it tomorrow' in these conditions.

Big bowl of veggies with chicken.0

You can eat a mess of fish, some grilled chicken, tuna, hummus, and some veggies. Make a salad, just eat meat, have some fruits. Depending on how many hours you have left in the day, I'd try and space out a few small snack-y meals with some protein and veggies and lots of water until you can pass out and do it again
Or 3 eggs.0 -
Franci, this will work. Get a pair of baggy shorts with deep pockets. Take 3 cooked chicken legs (with skin) and place them in your front left pocket. Go outside and walk a mile while eating a leg. Once the first mile is complete, take the leftover leg and move it to your right pocket. Repeat 2 more times. 45 minutes later you've walked 3 miles and eaten those legs!! Woo Hoo!! Try the veal I'm here all week.0

I totally get this. Such a slippery slope. Pretty soon you're so over in calories you're still making them up 2 months later. At least that's how I view it.

For TDEE, isn't your deficit already built in? You don't need an additional deficit on top of your deficit.

TDEE is maintenance. You need a deficit to lose weight.
I like the idea of vegetables and light tuna.
I agree with those who say "I'll make up for it tomorrow" is a bad idea. Pushing stuff off into the future isn't going to help with weight loss, and besides, less calories for tomorrow means more likely to go over... again.0
