Suggestions on dinner tonight? What can I eat for 175 calories. I'm PMSing (TMI, I know), and I was a bad girl and ate a Snicker's Bar. :/

    I would just eat a little dinner - a chicken breast and veggies. Don't worry, you can go over one day and be fine.

    Is there any chance you can sneak in a work out prior to dinner? That way you get more calories.

    If not, a 3 oz chicken breast is about 140 calories. That and steamed veggies should keep you at your goal.

    If I ever want a bigger dinner.. I work for it.

    Or eat it anyway and cry myself to sleep.

    (JK of course)

    This, don't worry about it. No need to exercise the excess. Plan better next time.

    You can't get a good dinner in for that few calories.

    Get your butt moving! Then you can have a decent dinner and still maintain your deficit.

    Heh, you're f*cked and you didn't even get to enjoy it! Or you can just work out, or go over for one day.

    Just eat a sensible dinner. It is ok to go over once in a while. It is a calorie goal. Not a "stop at this calorie number or you will die" goal. You can obsess over the numbers a ton or you will lose your mind! I am going over today and I am eating at maintenance which technically means I am on the course to gain weight, but I am not going to sweat it. I've been active today, but just no exercise to log.

    Or go vegetarian! You can eat lots of veggies for minimal calories! Squash, Zucchini, Carrots.....

    Some days you just have to go over a little. Eat a good healthy meal and do some extra exercise!

    Eat a healthy dinner and if you go over your goal eat that amount less tomorrow. No big deal :)

    I have scrambled egg whites, tomatoes and basil sometimes for dinner.
    I like what other posted about taking a walk that is better than not eating a sensible dinner.
