    I'd do my best to get a workout in. Even just a 20 minute one. If I couldn't, I would probably end up eating over a little. :-\ That's just me, so I do my best to plan for that. Best of luck. Whatever happens, one day isn't the end of the world. Hang in there!

    I'm at 150 left because we had Thanksgiving at work today.

    My plan is to shake violently in the voting line to burn as much as possible while skipping my workout to do my civic duty.

    In all seriousness after voting I'm having fish, some leftover rice and some squash. I'll only be a few 100 over at that point and still under maintenance.

    If it was me i would have lots of veggies to fill up on and maybe some fish or chicken, you may go over your calories but it is a healthy meal!!!!

    I eat shrimp! Or scallops. Both have high protein, low cal. I also go on a walk to get some more calories.

    Are you starving or just minor hunger? If I were you, I would eat some fruit & then go to sleep in an hour or two :)

    Only 100 calories left? What is your calorie goal to begin with (your diary is closed)? Perhaps your goal is too low.

    If you can't get in a workout or some cardio, just eat a light, healthy meal and forget about it. Perhaps you can burn some extra calories tomorrow. One day is not a big deal. We all have them.

    My plan is to shake violently in the voting line to burn as much as possible while skipping my workout to do my civic duty.

    This made me laugh. I actually just got back from voting. There was a weirdly long line for it being 1:30 in the afternoon, so I stood in tree pose while I waited. People looked at me funny.

    OP - try to work out, but if you can't, just go over and start fresh tomorrow. I agree with previous posters who look at their weekly average. That's what I do.

    Scramble a few egg whites with a bunch of veggies and serve over spinach with 2 tablespoons of salsa. Delicious. Just make sure to drink plenty of water too, because store bought salsa is usually nuts with sodium... The fresh kind you can buy in the produce section is actually pretty decent on sodium, but that's kind of off topic since I'm sure you don't have time to run the store if you're not sure you'll have time to work out.

    Planning ahead is key. 100 left means the OP could benefit from planning ahead! The goals are not too low...

    Awww, you're most welcome. I love the idea of tree pose while in line. Fantastic!

    Diary is open now. I used to eat 1200 but finding that harder to do... Changed the settings but still is hard. Did great the first month... Harder as I keep going. So thankfully for all ths support.

    whatever you do, just eat! Don't skip dinner just cuz you had a big lunch. You should probably eat a light dinner, but don't worry about going over your cals every now and then. If you skip dinner, you may end up binging later if you get real hungry, then you'll be worse off than if you have a light healthy dinner that puts you over.


    I agree with this!

    No... Goal is not too low... I had a plan... But kept nibbling. Next plan is avoidance... Hold out for quality pizza in smaller quantity . :)

    Like everyone is saying. See if you can get some excercise in today. Don't sweat it you're doing great!

    One egg and some veggies. Or go out for a walk and then eat more. Chances are those 100 calories aren't accurate anyway, so any light dinner should do.

    Exercise and earn more calories.

    ^^^ This! Is this not obvious?

    Yes! Feeling bad about your choice may trigger a binge!

    You had almost 700 calories left over yesterday. Consider them rollover minutes.

    I agree with some more exercise, if you can fit it in. :) But if I need a low cal and filling dinner, I'll go for: a black bean burger patty, salad and steamed veggies... Yum!

    I've found myself doing 20 minurtes of jumping jacks in my living room at 11PM to avoid going to bed on the minus side. If sticking with the program is important enough, you'll find what works and do it.
    Eat less or exercise more. It's not rocket science!!

    I'd say eat only IF you are actually hungry! (sometimes pizza or too much of it would fill me up for the rest of the day!)

    Another thought is when/if you eat make it low carb since pizza probably just blew out your carb allotment for the day. :sick:

    If you haven't exercised already then go ahead, but don't get trapped in the "exercise to eat more" trap. It'll bite ya in the butt every time if you make it a habit.

    Good Luck!
