I had the mother of all cheat days yesterday that included fried pub food and lots of wine, lots and lots and lots of wine. I'm back on track today but hung over. I'm drinking my fluids, couldn't handle coffee. My go to hangover cures are a caesar (like a bloody mary for those that aren't in Canada) and McDonald's. Neither of those are going to fit in my calories today.
Any ideas that won't kill my diary? I'm on 1500-1700 a day so I have some wiggle room

    If you find a hangover cure that works, no matter how many calories, please share it with the world.

    One-a-day vitamin and a V-8. Keep drinking water and you are going to need to eat something doughy to sop up those angry stomach acids.

    I find the thing that helps most is a low-calorie/no-calorie sports drink. I always feel much better after a couple of them.

    untrue. Hair of the dog works quite well but I am assuming the OP does not want or can't have another drink.

    I'm at work so I can't, otherwise I would have a drink and nap

    Emergen-C + 4 ibuprofen works for me. Good old fashioned aspirin works as well.
    Emergen-C is 25 cals.

    The cure for a hangover is lots of water and the passage of time. Alcohol causes dehydration, as it impedes antidiuretic hormone production and you get a whanging headache from dehydration. You can take some ibuprofen (or something similar) for some pain relief.
