Ok so it is almost dinner time and I have 1100 calories left to ingest before I log out (I try not to eat after 7pm). If it were up to me I would make a nice bowl of homemade macaroni and cheese just to get my calories but i'm sure thats not nutritionally helpful!
Any ideas on what I could eat to hit my calories? Ideas on meals that will be helpful to me nutritionally while getting in my calories?

I'd suggest opening your diary so people can be constructive.0

I wish I'd quit eating pop tarts so I'd have 1100 calories left for dinner. LOL!!!! Girl, if you're under your calories and fat intake for the day, go ahead and eat the mac-n-cheese.0

Since I can't see your diary I dont know what you've eaten today or what your macro goals are.
That being said, my suggestion would be a big salad with 4-8 ounces of chicken (I prefer thighs), an ounce orr two of pecans or nuts instead of croutons, and REAL olive oil based vinaigrette not low fat or fat free dressing.0 -
Eat whatever will keep you full for the rest of the night.....enjoy!0

Ditto that!0 -
a fajita could help take up more calories... sautee onions, peppers, mushrooms, etc., some shrimp or chicken or steak, add a little sour cream or salsa. with a whole wheat or even regular tortilla. It won't be 1100 calories but it should add up to a decent amount. It's really hard to give suggestions, not sure what you've had yet today or what you have more of left, carbs, fats, protein?0

Eat a 1/2 cup of cottage cheese and call it a night!
Throw in some steamed veggies or go for a quick walk or jog in place and throw in some protein.
Jogging in place burns like 100 in 10 mins....simple, easy and FREE and burns the calories!
and ABOVE ALL DON'T BEAT YOURSELF UP~
Be Kind and Gentle to yourself!0 -
Sorry for the closed profile, I have since opened it up!! Thanks for all of the comments!0

Plan your days ahead of time if this is a recurring issue.0

If mac and cheese fits your macros then go for it.0

I would suggest the salad too....you can add so much of a variety to a salad...where you need it...that's what you add...whether the protein,veggies,fruit,grains....look around your kitchen and see what you can toss together....gl..:)0

Steak, whenever I eat steak the calories always shock me. Have a 12 ounce, porterhouse or New York. Add a salad with bleu cheese for the side. Enjoy every delicious mouthful.0

1/2 of an avacado will provide approx. 400 calories and loads of nutrients.0

Is it necessary for me to really get up that high on calories? I am concerned because last week I was under on all of my calories and ended up with a weight gain for the weeks weight in.0

I would say, assuming your exercise burn is accurate, it is more important rather than less to get in your calories on exercise days to provide energy for muscle repair and whatnot. As far as last week is concerned, two things to consider. 1) Where are you for TOM? 2) What does your sodium intake look like?0 -
eat after 7pm?0

I suggest pizza, cookies, cupcakes and peanut butter cup sundaes.0

Are you hungry? If I wasn't hungry then no matter how many calories I have left I wouldn't eat. 1,100 calories is quite the deficit though. Have you considered eating nuts? Doesn't take a whole lot of almonds to get 200 calories. I wouldn't eat just anything just because the calories are there.0
