Alright

I am a caregiver and I have to take care of my clients. Some days it is cereal sausage, or whatever Sometimes the Client guardian pays for lunch, fast food. I am trying to be on the 16:8 but dang, I can handle it. But when I am ready to settle down I have about 200 cal left because I haven't been able to be physically active. I don't want to have a banana, yogurt or a tsp of PB. Please, I need suggestions and no nuts pls

    Tomato soup? I find it filling.

    Hard eggs? One day, I mashed one with a bit of salsa and divided it across seven 12-grain melba rounds. It was surprisingly filling and about 150 calories. Have some veg on the side to round it out to 200.

    If you're willing to do a little meal prep, you've got a huge world of options available to you. Or even a little pre-planning when you go to the grocery store, so you've got some quickie combinations/choices.

    One meal I had earlier this shift was ~155 calories. It was an oven-baked 4oz tilapia filet with veggies (zucchini & mushrooms), all seasoned with Italian herbs, over a bed of baby spinach with a bit of sunflower seeds and dried cranberries sprinkled on...

    I needed a little extra F+C at some point and had a Babybel wee wheel of gouda + a honeycrisp apple, total 160 cal.

    My pre/intra-workout meal was a banana & a protein shake (whey), for 225 calories.

    After the gym I had 1 whole egg + 1 serving eggbeaters + american cheese, for 182 cal.

    My bedtime meal will be a spoonful of PB stirred into casein protein, for 215 calories. yes I realize you said no nuts, but I think you get the gist of what I'm saying here. Plenty of good snacks/small meals for roughly 200 calories to round out your day!

    I second a bowl of soup - easy to make in advance. Or a big plate of steamed vegetables with an egg or some grated cheese on top.
