Ok, so I have about 500 calories left. A ton of fat and carbs left (I'd like to keep it like that). I've made my fiber and protein goal already. I'm still hungry but dont want to go over my protein any more than I have already. I'm at 58 now w/a goal of 45.

Does anyone have any yummy suggestions on a high colorie low to no protein snack? I've already had enough veggies today if I have to look at another one it will kill me.

Thanks ;)

    You could go for fruit. The del monte fruit natural cups have 140 cals 26 carbs and no fat or protein.

    This is a yummy one
    1 banana
    2 Tbs natural peanut butter
    1 Special K Chocolaty drizzle bar

    Slice the banana
    microwave the PB just so it can be drizzled and drizzle over the banana
    Crumble the bar on top

    Depending on the size of the banana you could use up about 300 calories.
    It's about 10 grams of protein but you can cut down on the PB.

    going over your protein isn't so bad especially if some of those calories you have left are exercise calories :)

    I don't know if you will be stopping by a grocery store, but next time you go you should pick a few of these up for when you're in situations like this. Sabra (a brand of hummus) has a to-go pack with pretzels, and it's soooo good. I think it's like 240 or more calories, and lots of carbs. You should look into those.

    The protien amount on MFP is low, you may want to use that as a minimum amount or go into your goals and increase the % proten and decrease the % carbs or fat.

    For evening snacks, I like to do 2 oz of rotisserie chicken (just love those chickens already cooked at the grocery store!) and I cut up 1/2 cucumber, half tomato, and some radishes. I mix it all together and let it sit until snack time and it's great to get in the protein before bed.

    Do you have a juicer? Cause if you do you could juice an apple, pineapple and some carrots. Or whatever you want.

    That's not very much protein. Most people need more than that.

    When I need a high calorie snack, I go for nuts. They meet your requirements because they are high in fat and carbs (in spite of the fact that people think nuts are high in protein, they aren't really, not compared to how high they are in fat and carbs).
