    I try to keep things from this list on hand for those occasions:

    Generally I find it much easier to eat with my weekly totals in mind. Some days I'm hungrier than others and as long as I am positive I am genuinely hungry as opposed to thirsty, bored, etc. and I haven't been going over every day, I eat. If my calories were more of a concern I might go for something like nuts/nut butter and some sliced fruit or some veggies and hummus. A reasonable combination of protein, fat and fiber helps me feel fuller longer.

    Try a meal of protein and green vegetables. You could make a great salad with chicken and mixed greens, cucumber, green onions, avocado, tomato. Or you could use a hard-boiled egg and/or tuna instead of chicken. I find this fills me up and I don't get hungry for about three hours.

    Honestly... so far, nothing. I make sure I have enough calories for dinner and a little bit extra. I've gone to bed hungry a couple times, I survived.

    My gallon jar of pickles says that there are 0 calories per serving. Probably closer to one or two, which, if you chew them, you probably use up.

    I like cucumbers with seasoned salt mix, skin on.

    I eat something with a great deal of fat
    This keeps me satiated & then spread out the caloric overage over the course of a week :drinker:

    I just started doing this a couple of days ago and it really does work. I usually drink black coffee anytime of the day but I switched to hot tea with Splenda sometimes. It makes me feel like I've had a treat..
    When I need something a little bit sweet but don't want the calories, I have some tea with a little splenda or other no-calorie sweetener. It satiates my taste buds!

    Oh, and cucumbers.

    Hi all:wink:
    If you reach your calorie intake and are hungry what do you eat? i was thinking a little bowl of green vegies or a garden salad, that would be very many calories but at least you are choosing a better snack.

    Started back with MFP and im very hungry today! i am still within calories and have budgeted dinner and avo tea. But i normally get the night snacks so im hoping i have something left to save me!

    Any ideas or experiences?:smile:

    How much do you weight and what is the calorie intake? Maybe your daily caloric intake is too low....

    If I'm really hungry, I'll eat more food. But first I'll have an herbal tea to see if it was just thirst.

    I'm not usually hungry after dinner though cause I eat the majority of my calories at dinner.

    What I like to eat are frozen grapes or frozen raspberries. Something about a little bit of crunch and the cold takes my hunger away.

    Bottom line...drink water wait 15 minutes & if your still hunger grab some protein packed food. :smile: Good luck and don't feel bad about going over as long as you don't make a habit of it it's to easy.
