extra calories at end of day!

Asil02

There have been a couple of days when I have at least 200 calories left to eat at the end of the day. I NEVER want to be that far under the 1200 calories. I'd love to get some suggestions of low GI, low sodium, snacks I can have at the end of the day (bedtime snacks).

I struggle with this too. The last thing I want at the end of the day is a bag of carrots.

Peanut butter or nuts. Bananas are a high cal fruit.

Look at your diary and see what you're low in. My usual go-tos are protein shakes, cottage cheese + fruit, or oatmeal, depending on what the macros look like.

I save peanut butter on wholemeal toast for the last mini meal it really helps!! also, with extra calories burned for exercise, i can have 2 slices rather than one to meet my calorie needs

I have 4 rice cakes, with very light cheese spread and a slice of wafer thin roast chicken slice on each. I sprinkle a bit of curry powder on the spread too...spicy.

Maybe try putting a tbsp on coconut oil along with the peanut butter on the toast? It is 120 cal/tbsp and full of good stuff. One of the "superfoods".

Thanks for all the suggestions! Tonight I finished out with a gala apple and some peanut butter. 1350 calories for the day! Not too shabby. I will certainly take several of your suggestions for future evenings.
