I am 150ish calories under my goal and I have no idea what to log to make those calories up. May I have some ideas? Maybe something high in fiber or protein but lower in fat?

    If you are not hungry, I would just let it go. :smile:

    Yep. Or do what I did and have some protein powder. Also, egg whites!

    unless you're weighing every single thing you eat correctly, there's a pretty big margin of error... same with if you're eating back exercise calories via mfp estimates.. so if you're not hungry i imagine it wouldn't hurt to just let those 150 cals go....

    if you're hungry, there are so many options high in protein/fiber i don't even know what to suggest... i personally love cottage cheese

    I don't eat back workout calories. But I am having a pretty big burn tomorrow so I want to be fueled.

    At my health food store I buy a protein bar called quest bar. It has 20 grams of protein and 17 grams of fiber and 2 net carbs. It is filling but it also has a good amount of protein for when you're doing big workouts.

    I don't focus on my daily calories. If I am under one day, I eat it another. The weekly average means more to me than the daily. I generally save up a little here and there for PIZZA! (or somethings else delicious and high in calories!)

    If you're having a big burn tomorrow you may want to add some whole wheat crackers or fruit for carbs.
