Hey all!

Is it bad if I have 593 calories left to fill up? It's almost 9pm where I'm currently at and I'm not sure what a good snack would be to fill the rest of the calories...HELP!

Thanks!

    Eat whatever you want that doesn't go over 594 calories.

    Honestly I had the same problem last night and just ate a banana and had a glass of red wine and it made enough difference I was trying to get over 1200 calories. Good luck... hope you think of something.

    I've kinda been hungry all day. I think my metabolism is working too fast for me!

    Nuts! A handful of cashews can be 300 calories. Bananas are good too.

    Honestly...if you're not hungry, don't eat. It won't kill you for one night. If it starts becoming a habit though, would eat more caloric meals and snacks throughout the day to avoid jilting yourself out of the nutrition you need.

    Eat them or not, either way, not particularly important.

    However, what *is* important is that you take the steps to keep this from happening (as much as possible) in the future. One day of missing your total isn't really a big deal. Consistently doing it, however, can be.

    Most of the time, when this happens to me, it's the result of a failure to plan (or to execute the plan) more than it is a hungry/not hungry thing.

    Protein is always BIG for calory count. Don't feel that you have to eat beyond what your tummy wants, olr round out with empty calories. My daughter drinks a lot of smoothies, and adds peanutbutter if she is low.

    I have this problem a lot, so if it happens often, my sugestion is trying planning out your day a little more in advanced so you can up portions or add stuff to meals to avoid this.
    But you could A. have anything you want that stays within that calorie range, or B. if you're like me and also keep a close eye on your macros or other nutrients, then think of some snacks that sound good, add them in in varying portion sizes or in various combinations of foods and see what gets you closest to calories and best on macros. I usually go for some light ice cream, maybe fruit and yogurt, popcorn, pretzels, cheese and crackers, really depends if I have fat and sugar left to spend because those I like to watch more carefully (that is bad fats and added sugar)

    Nuts are really good (I usually go unsalted almonds, 150 calories, some other nuts have more calories, but also more fat and carbs so it depends what you're looking for). Peanut butter sandwich, or a regular sandwich with lunch meat or chicken or something. Or just heat up some leftovers, make an omeltte there are lots of options
