    Eat some of tomorrow's calories. Our bodies don't work on a 24 hour clock you know. Eat less calories tomorrow to make up for today..

    If you are 'starving' then eat nutrient-dense food.

    If you are eating, not getting the results you want and still 'starving' at the end of the day then take a good look at what you are eating.

    Zero calorie meals, Jesus, what have we come to?

    I'm not really sure why one would want a zero calorie meal? What's the point?

    Sugar free jello.

    If I'm HONESTLY HUNGRY I eat. But for quite awhile I would eat pickles or sugar free jello for those "want to eat" cravings.

    If hungry = EAT food. Listen to your body.

    This. There are calorie goals, but if your stomach is making loud growls, it's telling you it burned up what you ate today. Your stomach has usually been empty for a LONG time by the time it starts to growl. Just eat a normal snack, log it, and move on. I would recommend an apple, or a cup of apple sauce. The cup of applesauce is 100 calories and VERY filling.

    I just gotta say, if it was MY mom's cooking, I would have eaten a small amount and worked out extra hard the next day. There is no way I am passing up my moms cooking for sauerkraut!

    Having said that, If I were starving, I'd probably eat a small salad with limited dressing but if I'm just snacky, I drink a cup of hot herbal tea.

    Trust me, I don't have an eating disorder...but at the end of the day, when I've already eaten my alloted 1200 calories, sometimes I'm still hungry...and the night is still young, so chowing down on some very low cal foods beats the hunger.

    Yeah! Especially the Kosher baby dill ones are like 5 calories. They are available at Dollar Tree, if you happen to have those in your area.

    If you are "starving", you need to eat calories.

    Just sayin.

    Pickles are 0 calorie, however they are high in sodium. A couple of dill spears will tide you over.

    The whole big rgg plant is only 100kcal. bake it, take the musse from inside, blend it with your fav spices/herbs. You can it it on it's own or dip some celery/carrots in it. Also any kind of home made vegetable soup made with no oil is going to be almost zero kcal.

    If you're eating something just to put food in your mouth, you're either not eating enough or you're "mentally" hungry rather than physically. 0 calorie food has 0 nutrition. It's pointless.

    No one needs 1200 calories to lose weight. Why not just give yourself a couple hundred more calories and NOT feel like you need to eat saurkraut with salt and pepper in order to stave hunger?

    Nobody typically "WANTS" a zero calorie meal, BUT if you have eaten all of your calories for the day, and eaten good food at that, you still may need a little "something" to make it through the rest of the day. There's absolutely nothing wrong with getting a few ideas about low cal (or no cal) foods to curb that hunger. Geez.

    Peeled sliced lemons with a dash of salt. YUMMY! Of course I'm the only person I know who loves to eat lemons.

    Echo. Eating as I would pre-lifestyle change, I could easily consume my daily calorie limit within a matter of hours - and be starving an hour later. It all depends on what you're eating. When I make wise food choices (as opposed to a portion of white bread or hot tamales candies simply because these happen to fit within my calorie limit), my 1,200 cal. daily requirement is FAR from sparse. Consult my food diary; I feel like I'm constantly returning to the trough. ;)
