I only have 211 calories left after lunch. I know I will not be able to exercies tonight b/c one son has a spring training football game and the other has a basketball game. Will not have much time to prepare. Any good ideas on something that will be filling and quick, but not many calories???

Maybe a couple hardboiled eggs and an apple. I find those to be filling. I also do 1 frozen whole wheat waffle, toasted, with 1 tbs of peanut butter. That has 180 calories and 11 grams of protein. I often eat that for breakfast and I am still full hours later.0

Did the same thing the other day...I didn't panic. Just ran a nice hot bath, made some veggies and hummus and laid back and enjoyed a nice book in the tub. It was a party for me...delicious, and I felt like a million bucks after! Okay...I might of had a small glass of wine too!0

salad and some fish? or a small stir fry w/ shrimp and veggies? and some tea!0

Progresso Soups...I keep the Lentil soup on hand. It is filling and under 200 calories. Add a salad and I bet you wont be hungry.0

2nd the Progresso soup - the light creamy potato is 100 calories/cup. Or make an egg white omelette and load it with veggies, have it with a slice of whole grain toast0

I will also grab the Progresso Light soups when I'm in a hurry but I prefer not to simply because of all the salt. For my busy days/nights I like to pre-make turkey burgers (I put a recipe in the recipe post for a burger that's under 150 calories) and freeze them in individual baggies. They're already cooked so it takes no time to heat them up.0

bar q spicy louisianna sausage (130 cal) sliced up, sauteed (no oil, just natural juices) with onion, mushroom, green pepper, red pepper, yellow / orange pepper, after its all sauteed together, serve on a bed fresh spinach or steamed cabbage...0

These all sound great! Thanks so much for helping me out and giving me some ideas.0

If you go over your calorie goal with dinner, you can eat less calories tomorrow to balance everything. I don't do that often but sometimes I have no choice :sad:0
