What do you eat when you're starving but short on calories?

I love the crunch of raw carrots. However, my favorite low cal snack is Boom Chicka Pop popcorn. 35 calories per cup. Delish!
yep ditto this...that's the best popcorn ever !!0 -
Chicken Broth (I make my own so it tastes pretty good) - put spices in like garlic and onion powder. Shredded vegetables like carrots, onions, and broccoli.0

I eat and go over my calories.

lipton cup a soup.
Its only 50 calories, and the heat from the warm liquid helps me feel satisfied and cuts the edge!0 -

Sugar free jelly (jello in the States?)0

I love cucumber salad with some balsamic vinegar or grey poupon mustard..yum!!
Or I munch on bell peppers. My favorite is orange. One bell pepper is like 40 cals but if you cut it in stripes it takes a while to eat it and it's fresh and kinda sweet and the water makes you feel full.
If nothing else helps I go to my freezer where I always have some dark chocolate chips stacked and I eat a handful of those0 -
If it's THAT time of the month... chocolate! ;-)
Sometimes I can do with a hot chocolate (milk and cocoa powder, no sugar added) and I'm fine. And sometimes I need real dark (85-90%) chocolate. And I learned to give it to me... because I love carrots and I love cottage chefs and I love celery and hummus and all that stuff. BUT - if it's that time of the month I need chocolate (or whatever I'm craving) and the craving will not stop until I had it. So I can as well eat it from the beginning and saving all the other calories ;-)
And usually chocolate cravings tell me I need some more Magnesium, too!0 -
I do a cardio workout and eat. When I am ravenous, I find protein keeps me full longer, so beef jerky makes a really filling snack.0

If it happens infrequently, I'd just say "F it" and go over my calories, knowing that one day won't make any major difference.
If it happens frequently, I'd examine whether or not my calorie goals are appropriate for me. Better to lose weight at a slower pace over a longer period of time than lose weight quicker, but burn out.0 -
Tuna fish!! but if you are truly hungry - EAT! If you see it and want it that is not being hungry!0
-
An apple! It's the best snack I've found to actually fill me up. Probably because they're high in fiber. And fruit helps with those TOM sweets cravings.0

A cup of vegetable soup, either my homemade or Progresso (preferable reduced sodium) for about 100 calories.
Chicken breast if I have some cooked already, wrapped in a big Romaine leaf with a dab of mayo...100 cal.
You might try a search on sparkpeople.com I think I've seen a list there of 100 or 200 calorie combos.
Whatever...eat something so you don't stay hungry for a long time...big chance of that leading to a binge. You might better be reasonable and go a couple hundred cals over rather than feel starved....no matter what the reason is.

I slice up a cucumber and lightly salt it. About 30 calories for a whole cucumber and it fills me up for a long time.0
-
Something high in protein and low calorie... lean turkey breast, boiled egg whites, cheese.
This is one of my favorites - http://www.desktopcookbook.com/recipe/135184/Cucumber-Sub-Sandwich!.htm
Drink lots of water!
Why did I never think of that? I'm buying cucumbers tomorrow!0 -
V - 8 Fusion - 8 oz. If I am really hungry, a dilll pickle, or cup of progresso vegetable soup0

I usually go for a nice sized salad to fill me up when I'm really hungry and short on calories. Helps me meet my goals without blowing it or having any guilt for eating junk.0
