    I had a day recently where I just didn't have much of an appetite...so I ended up eating 3 fun-size KitKats before bed just to get over 1200 calories. :)

    I say hell yes on the cookies. Maybe 1 cookie and the something good for you like a peanut butter sandwich. Cookies and milk sounds good.

    NO! Not the same type of calories. Eat some PB or something high in calories from a good source. Sunflower seeds, almonds, etc. That'll put you where you want to be w/out making your feel yucky. Or double up on a portion of something good! let me know how that cycling goes. Thought about it before.

    Why sabotage your diet for the day by eating junk just to fill up some calories? Eat something healthy to nourish your body.

    Have an apple with peanut butter. The peanut butter is higher in calories and most medium apples are about 90 calories themselves. It's good for you and tastes great. Skip the cookies though, no junk food unless it's your cheat day (if you do those).

    I am willing to take one for the team... I'll eat the cookies. If you give me those calories, I am prepared to make that sacrifice.
