I am so utterly confused and frustrated.

CHOCOLATE!!!


Oh wait you want healthy options...my bad...:blushing:

Dark chocolate is good for you, as long as it's not loaded down with milk and sugar. I have a couple squares of a nice bar of dark chocolate on most days. Helps keep much worse cravings at bay.

I also have chocolate most days. If I have calories left to spare at the end of the day then I will head for the fridge and have a few squares of my favourite - Galaxy Smooth. I agree, it definately helps you get over the cravings knowing that you CAN have some chocolate if you so desire. I have mine already broken into segments in a container in the fridge, so I just take as many as I allow myself rather thank having the whole bar in front of me.

prepare your vegetables with olive oil, 120 calories per tbsp
add lowfat shredded cheese to your veggies for 80 calories per ounce
have a serving of nuts for a snack-160 calories per ounce
add pb to your oatmeal or with an apple -200 calories for 2 tbsp

That isn't much more "Food" but it adds 560 calories. That's by simply sauteeing veggies in olive oil, adding cheese to them, adding a snack of 1/4 cup nuts, and adding pb to something you're already eating. Not much more bulk so it isn't going to make you any more stuffed.

I have found it hard to hit my minimum calories with just healthy food alone. I often eat a bit of peanut butter to bring my calories up. Occasionally, especially if I had a particularly good workout, I will go ahead and spend a few hundred calories on a yummy dessert.
