    Saltines are my "feeling hungry but hardly any cals left" snack. 5 crackers is about 60 cals. Just eat a portion and then chug a bunch of water. Should stave off the munchies long enough for you to go to bed and fall asleep.

    I agree with what most have said. Go exercise...even if it's a light Yoga routine from good old YouTube. You'll earn about 71 cals in 20 mins. You'll feel good and refreshed and relaxed. Then you can reevaluate that "need" or "want" for a cookie. If you do something heavier or longer, you may have even earned the calories to eat that cookie. It's what I do. :-)

    Any vegetables? When I'm in that situation I have cabbage, fills you up and is low calorie. I always keep it around.

    Just trying to picture someone leaving cabbage lying around just in case cravings for sweets hit. Like in your purse, your desk at work, or in the car's dash.

    when that happens to me, tea with stevia or warm almond milk with stevia and cinnamon (35-60 cals if you use unsweetened almond milk)... if i'm having salty cravings i often heat up some beef or chicken bouillon, i use bouillon paste that has real beef or chicken and doesn't have salt as a top ingredient. it's about 5-10 cal and works surprisingly well.

    I can't see your diary to get an idea of what your intake is, but for God's sake if you are starving the have a snack! 100 calories won't kill you....you can make it up another day this week or not at all. Truly this is nothing to stress about! Starving and letting it go to extremes will lead to nothing more than a binge that you will end up feeling crappy after.

    Dill pickles! Zero calories, but some sodium. Works best for non-sweet cravings.
    Like others said for sweets go fruit - peaches, strawberries, apples - are all around 60 calories for medium.

    2 Werther's originals are 40 calories.


    So is 100g of strawberries. Or half an apple. What is the better choice?

    Nothing is zero calories. Truly. Low calorie, similar to a cucumber, okay I can see that. Let's be reasonable.

    I have to agree with you... tthat is exactly what happened to me before, I would eat very early then at night get very hungry not having control and I would binge soo bad that would feel gulty and crappy after....so last night I had ginger honey tea and felt better, I was able to stay in control..Many time I feel hungry but I have to admit that many times its more like an anxiety issue that I need to address, im thinking about joining a yoga class and trying some meditation dvds.

    Go to bed?

    ^^ This.

    I was told the same thing and I tried it; it works. And it's a wonderful feeling the next day when you realize you beat the night time power-eating monster.

    OP you hit your calorie limit

    if you are very hungry chances are you under eating far too much.
