It's one of those days! How do you deal? I ate pretty well today, worked out some so I could eat more (I usually don't eat back my calories but I had to today), and I feel like I've been pretty much starving today.

What do you do when it happens... do you just throw your goal out of the window? I have 70 calories left, but not for long...

    Eat. Maybe an apple, or some peanut butter? Just because you go over your calls a little bit won't make it a bad day.

    Eat something that will keep you full. I wouldn't worry about going over once in awhile if you're really hungry.

    ETA: Eating a little over your calorie goal isn't throwing it out the window. Eating way over because you just went "Screw it, I'm over by ten calories, I may as well go over by a thousand" is throwing it out the window.

    Whenever I *think* I'm hungry I always check to make sure I'm not actually thirsty and reading the craving wrong. I drink a bottle of water and then wait 20 minutes. If I'm still hungry then I eat a little snack like an apple or a little bit of cottage cheese.

    Haha it's not thirst. I've been drinking water pretty much all day.

    I had a bit of greek yogurt to finish my 25 calories. Hoping tomorrow is easier.

    Just snack on fresh vegetables, like baby carrots or celery sticks. A handful of raw almonds and a cup of skim milk. You may go over your calories a bit, but that should curb your craving for the night :wink:

    I'd borrow some calories from tomorrow. It doesn't have to be exact each day you can go over some and under on others to suit your appetitie.
