You've reached your quota, right? You're done then. No food for you!
OTOH, you could get rid of the ridiculous goals that leave you over quota and out of calories before lunch and go with something you actually have a chance of succeeding with... but hey, what do I know, right?
How do you know their goals were ridiculous?
I agree with the eat something filling. Protein often works well and drink lots of water and start over tomorrow. If you're really wanting to not eat those extra calories you could take a few out of the next few days to make up for it but if you don't go WAY over you'll still be at a deficit for the week.

Uhh ... might have something to do with consuming the entire day's calories before even lunch is done, still being hungry at lunch, and having the remaining half of the day with no calories - zero ... nada ... nothing .. diddley-squat left to consume? Maybe? Ya think that might be a ridiculously aggressive bar to set for one's self that just might lead to certain and doomed failure? Maybe? Ya think? Right?

Have you guys not run into this poster before? Do you see how many posts she has? I could be wrong, but from past experience, this is kind of a joke.0

I've had days where I hit my calorie limit at 2 AM. hahaha
Just eat when you are hungry that night, log it, and plan the next day better.

I've had one-third of my calorie limit. I should have put it under yesterday, but I want a kick in the pants to use my rowing machine tomorrow.0 -
Thanks for all the great replies and ideas, I do most of those....was glad to be reminded of some and happy to see new ideas.
It was not a joke.
Usually I hit my cal goals no problem but for some reason that day noontime hit, I had time to log since an earlier activity was canceled and I was like damn!
This day I had for some reason woken thirsty in the wee hours and consumed lots of OJ, multiple times, so I started the day off weird and with cals already used up.
I cant recall ever having used up ALL a days cals by lunch and was truly shocked and stumped.

Honestly, i cant even imagine doing that, even though im aware of IF and religious or other fasting, its just not something i am capable of.
I know other+people can though.0 -

Why OJ and not water? I don't drink a lot of fruit juice, because when I drink my calories, I want them to be boozy.
I have had days when, for one reason or another, I've hit my goal by lunch—usually when I'm traveling for work and have a hotel breakfast followed by lunch at a restaurant. In those cases, I try to hit the fitness center or go for a walk or a run before dinner, but if I can't, I just eat as lightly as I can at dinner, log everything, and remember that I gained all that weight not because I ate a huge surplus on a few days a year, but because I ate a small surplus almost every day of the year.0 -

desperation over time can lead to things you wouldn't want to know.
I labored under false assumptions that it was my inaccuracies in logging, my exercise lacking causing me to not lose the last 15 pounds for 2 years. Have only recently begun to get answers that it is something badly wrong with my thyroid.0 -

Yep. It eventually all adds up and leads to weight gain.MyChocolateDiet wrote: »This day I had for some reason woken thirsty in the wee hours and consumed lots of OJ, multiple times, so I started the day off weird and with cals already used up.

Because it is impossible for them to have an unplanned breakfast out with co-workers or something that puts them over, right?
This last post makes you seem really ignorant. Just because they have one day that they go over before noon, does not make their goals ridiculous.0 -

Hmm. The only time I drink OJ in the daytime (or ever) is when the cals I drank the night before were boozy.

Now I'm gonna have to go back and see if I drank booze the night before the juice greed.0 -

The goal, whatever it is, I assure you, is quite ridiculous if it can't deal with or adjust to a single unplanned breakfast, and it also happens to be quite orthogonal to and independent of my "ignorance".
BTW - you misspelled "arrogance".

This time of year, the water from the tap is plenty cold where I live!

MFP does not have protocols. It has dogmas. I'm surprised no one has mentioned the obvious one yet. Weigh all your food.0

Not me, and where I live lots of people dont drink the tap water any time of year and I even had an optometrist suggest I not wash my face with it (she was from out of state and noting the difference from where she was from.)MyChocolateDiet wrote: »I wanted something cold.

I would+have drank the filtered fridge spout water but without the noisy ice maker it wouldnt have been cold enough.
