Thanks everyone - I thought nuts would be a good place to start but you've given me some other ideas ^.^ I don't necessarily need filling up as such - just that I don't want to miss 500 calories and then be no where near my goal.. Thus making this last bit of weight even harder to shift! I hope this makes sense.
Please no one else say peanut butter though - I can't stand the stuff!!! :laugh: xx0 -
On an individual day, I don't worry about it. If it becomes a habit, I try to start working extras in throughput the day. I love to add a handful of pistachios to my banana snack or a couple tbsp PB or cheese with my apple, almonds or Greek yogurt with strawberries, cheese with grapes...
Between the fact that I don't know what kind of protein goes with oranges and my partner picks the biggest ones in the store, I don't eat oranges very often.0 -
I like peanut butter, but have recently tried the pb that you grind yourself at Whole Foods, yummy, divine! Especially the mixed nuts one. They have small containers to try the different flavors.0

I always go for wine and gelato to fill up my last calories. Hasn't hurt my weight loss a bit0

I like nuts, veggies in olive oil, beans, dried fruits, and my favorite is hot (boneless) wings! A handful of almonds is almost enough.0

I had the same problem recently, and I've found that adding one more snack earlier in the day is helpful to close the gap. That way, there's no major deficit to be filled in the evening.
But when, for instance, I do a more intense workout and suddenly find myself still 500 cals under, I'll do something like take a piece of deli meat, get some cheese, avocado, and maybe some mustard, and roll it up like a wrap. Or you could do a lettuce wrap with a smaller portion of your favorite sandwich items.
My meat-cheese-avocado wrap is usually around 150-180 cals, depending on what kind of meat I use. You could have two of those for about 300-350 cals.
PB and fruit is always nice--or just PB on its own!
Nuts, yogurt, or cottage cheese are other nice options. Or a glass of wine...0 -
