I have about 700cal left to eat today after the cereal I just had. I plan on making oatmeal with peanutbutter and bananas, but that still leaves me 360ish behind. What should I eat? I don't really eat sweets, so that's not really an option, and I feel like I'll probably be pretty full after the oatmeal. So something that will be relatively light in my belly. Any suggestions?

Some trail mix?0

If you're not hungry, don't eat. Being under by a small amount won't hurt you.

glass of milk, juice or wine?0

Do you have any low fat popcorn you can pop? Lots of fiber!0

veggie burger, protein shakes or bars, peanut butter, etc0

If your not hungry than why eat? Being a few calories over or under won't make or break your diet if it happens once in awhile. But if your dead set in getting extra calories why not have a protein shake or smoothie.0

One of my friends came up with this concept, but it's really simple...
1. Peanut butter on spoon
2. Insert into mouth
3. Swallow

Big glass of chocolate milk. Seriously. It helps.0

Is this real life? Go eat a d**m milkshake.
Just kidding (well actually I might if I had 700 left.) I'm not trying to be mean though... you get hungrier the more you diet as the weeks go on and you won't run into this problem anymore!
I'd say eat a couple tablespoons of peanut butter, or maybe some full fat greek yogurt. Guacamole with a small serving of whole grain chips? Or some trail mix (or any nuts, for that matter)0 -
Maybe double up on the oatmeal... usually only 150 cals for 1/2 cup dry, regular serving...
When I wind up way behind on calories for the day, I don't try to make it all up at the end, just get myself far enough above 1200 so my metabolism doesn't do anything crazy and make part of the rest up the next day. Nuts are good for making up the calories quick.0 -

I'm trying to correct under-eating, I do it too regularly. >_<0 -

I think I'll probably just do that, and add some almonds as well. Without this 360ish I am still only at 888.0 -
Can you add some almonds or something to your oatmeal? And have a glass of milk?0
