I'm over by almost 600 cals today (rarity!) I'm a little hungry but I don't want to ruin my day! I'm thinking some greek yogurt with fruit as a kind of 'sundae dessert' sounds really good. probably won't be 600 cals but it will get me closer.

What would you do with 600 cals?? :wink:

    do you mean you need another 600 to reach your daily target?

    I'd look at something like a peanut butter and banana smoothie/milkshake!

    Is it evening time where you are? I'm not a big fan of eating sugars including fruit later in the day..just a personal thing. I'd go for cottage mixed with tuna, then maybe if i'm still hungry a big glass of skim chocolate milk. Eating a little protein before bed is an excellent way to keep your metabolism on fire while you sleep.

    I like sweets at night (i KNOW i KNOW) which is why the fruit sounds good... I might just have to go get some peanut butter and make a smoothie like sassydot said... mmmm

    Hmmm, I like cottage cheese. I like tuna. But together? Gag!

    umm.. Pizza and Beer.. yes, I found a way to indulge happily and guilt free

    1 whole wheat pocketless pita bread = 210 calories
    2 tablespoons marinara sauce = 15 calories
    1/4 2% mozzerella = 70
    2 oz grilled chicken diced = 63
    2oz pineapple chunks = 25

    and last but not least..

    4 Budweiser Select 55 calorie beer = 220

    grand total of 603 Caloires

    I beleive you'll find just as many people saying it is OK as you will saying it's NOT.

    Who knows for sure.

    All in all I think moderation is the key: don't gorge yourself at night and don't make a habit of high cal snacks, but if you're hungry, genuinely hungry, eat something.
