    how many do you have left for the day and how many meals/snacks do you need to eat?

    If you eat too many calories early in the day, and you are worried about going over ...do this.,

    (I assume you are tracking)

    Drink more water.

    Eat veggies. Veggies barely have any calories in them and will fill you up more so you can make it through the day.

    Stop eating for the day. Just kidding, I usually will replace my late meals with high volume low calorie foods like Vegtables and Salad to avoid hunger and keep the calorie count down.

    I would suggest to exercise longer/harder and watch what you eat the rest of the day. Tomorrow is another day and just start over, we all are learning. I didnt know how many calories I was actually eating until I started tracking them.

    To avoid this I always sit down the day before and plan out my meals.. and snacks. But if I make a mistake early in the day I exercise them off (take the stairs on lunch, or make a few laps around the building), or balance out with low low calorie high protein meals and snacks.

    This isn't helpful for today, butmaybe for tomorrow.


    If possible, enter in the foods you will be eating BEFORE you eat. That way, you can really decide whether or not you want to eat it! I do this and sometimes, it is so relaxing to eat and know that I'm still 'on track" with my calroies rather than being ashamed and depressed about every single thing I put in my mouth. Now, I know I CAN EAT it!

    Oops, looks liek someone else just had the exact same comment... oh well, great minds think alike.

    I ate lousy :sad: yesterday and in order to make it work out, I went and walked for an hour and earned those calories back so I wasn't over my goal for the day. You can earn a whole meal back.... :bigsmile:

    3 options

    eat lots of veg to balance it out,

    do a ton of exercise to earn more calories

    write today off, ditch the guilt and start afresh tomorrow...lesson learned
