~700 calories remaining. help!

silkribbonx

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?

wahhh help me!

Some trail mix?

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

Jessicaruby

glass of milk, juice or wine?

katieacor

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

Brilliantbritt27

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

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.

Protein shake.

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

Problem solved!

Big glass of chocolate milk. Seriously. It helps.

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)

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.

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

That's what I did yesterday when I still had 700 to go at 8:30pm.

That's what I'm doing now-- PB is sooooooo comforting and happy!

I think I'll probably just do that, and add some almonds as well. Without this 360ish I am still only at 888.

MissNations

Can you add some almonds or something to your oatmeal? And have a glass of milk?

I have a hard time eating peanutbutter (or any nut butters really) on things. ahaha my bf loves it though, he'll sit there and eat almost half a jar.

Renonvme

Give them to meeee! :laugh:

Here are some things to increase my calories quickly!!

Protein shake with milk (230 cal)
protein bars (180-210 Cal)
almonds (160 cal)
coconut oil (130 cal) I put virgin coconut oil in my oatmeal or protein shake
AdvantEdge Protein shake (110 cals)

LauRoxx

only 360 below? DON'T SWEAT IT!
If you're off for one day it's no big deal, just take this time to plan out what you'll be eating tomorrow so you'll be on target the next few days

A few days ago when I was sick I coudn't keep anything down and had about 1000 cal to spare but I still didn't eat and it did not affect me. Do NOT do it everyday and when you do eat, eat higher calorie snacks.

~Edit~ If you have access to it get an MRE (Meal Ready-to Eat), I've grown fond of them since my time in the Army.

Do you have any cashews or almonds or try a toasted Grilled Cheese

If you are constantly eating under your calories and you want to amend it, you need to be considerate of it for the whole day. Have a little more breaskfast, an extra snack, or that sort of thing so you don't come to the end of the day to find you have excess calories.

Tomorrow I will plan better I meant to today, but I had such a busy day.

PinkZinnias

Nuts are high calorie and still healthy...almonds, walnuts, pecans, etc....or have an avocado, high cal but really good for you.

Okay, success! I've made an oatmeal pancake sandwich, the filler being a banana, some yogurt, and peanutbutter.

Oatmeal pancakes are awesome and super easy.
It's just 1/3 cup of dry oatmeal and 1/4cup egg white (or one whole egg) per pancake

i agree!

lol 700 is a little too far from small for me to be comfortable with.

chrisdavey

I would have just taken you're original oats recipe & doubled it personally
