    100 cal pouch of Marketside guacamole/Walmart. Wonderful tasting stuff. Eat it slowly with a small spoon.

    Just eat, it wont kill you. I blew my calorie goal by about 2500 one day, two days later I was right back to the same weight I was before, at most I added a pound or so of water weight from the sodium and a few ounces of waste weight. It's not the end of the world, and you're at what 500 a day deficit? So you eat a normal dinner which basically puts you at maintenance for a day, big deal. Eat dinner and move on with life.

    You can't call 100 calories ''dinner''.

    4 hard boiled egg whites with salsa. I eat that everyday for lunch and it is under 100 calories.

    This. Especially if you ate most of today's calories at breakfast, because that means you haven't really eaten much all day. By starving yourself tonight to make your calorie goal, you may be setting yourself up to struggle tomorrow when you wake up and are absolutely starving.

    Going over your calories once in awhile isn't going to derail your diet. I used to worry about it when I first started using MFP, but then I realized that most of the time it will even out within a few days.

    I need a recipe for dinner with 100 calories. I was bad today and used most up in breakfast. Any Suggestions?

    OP have a real meal log it honestly and move on, as you are most probably in a deficit you could easily eat up to maintenance and still not gain.

    I tend to have large late lunches on the weekends and leave 100 or less for dinner as well. I make a large bowl of cabbage soup using just cabbage, soup base from the Japanese mart, and hot sauce...maybe a hard boiled egg or half if I have enough calories. It leaves me very full and satisfied.

    I would worry more about the fact that you are willing to eat 100 calories for dinner vs forgoing one stinkin day of deficit. Eat a regular dinner and lost a fraction of a lb less this week *eyeroll*

    I'm with everyone else. Just eat an actual dinner and get back on track.

    But you could do something like a turkey or tuna sandwich for a couple hundred calories, so not too far off from what you want. A couple of whole eggs and a piece of toast. Give yourself a side of fruit or veggies and you and your body will be happier.

    Just eat at maintenance numbers for today. You won't gain, and you'll get a few hundred more calories to eat.

    you and I have very different interpretations of the word filling.

    I will not sit quietly by while people continue to post meals consisting of <100 calories of primarily egg whites!

    1. <100 calories is not a meal...or at least not an adult meal. Actually, strike that...it's not a child or infant meal either.

    2. There is *no* way a tiny snack of <100 calories is "filling". Perhaps I'll buy that it is "distracting" enough to make you forget you are hungry for a moment or two...or that it is momentarily "settling" to your hunger-wracked, rumbling stomach...but it is not "filling".

    3. What are you doing with the egg yolks (the most delicious, most nutritious part of the egg)??? Lie to me and tell me your significant other is eating them...or perhaps you're feeding them to your children. Maybe you're feeding them to your pets. I hope it's something like this...because the thought of you throwing them away saddens me.

    OP - please eat a "normal" meal, go over by a few hundred calories for the day and carry on. More importantly, reevaluate if your daily deficit is reasonable. Frequently having <100 calories left for dinner, while not definitive, is a clue that it might not be.

    JUST EAT. Who cares if you go over? Make it up the next day and exercise so you can eat more.
