ok fellow MFPers here is a challenge for you - so you have gotten to the end of the day and due to that "snack" you now have roughly a hundred calories left for dinner and you are hungry - what do you do?

I will do the easy one - 2/3 of low carb protein shake (79 cals) and a side salad (30 cals) for a total of 109 cals.

Over to you - love to hear how you solve this one .... Because we have all been here before....

    A quick walk to get some extra calories and a chicken breast (boneless/skinless) with stemed veggies.

    Yeah that is another way to solve it - 90 mins of gardening will get you a quarter pounder ......

    ohhh, good topic! thanks for posting. i'll check back often to get some ideas.

    and ya'll are funny. exercise more to earn more cals. HAHA....

    my newest thing is:
    -1/2 english muffin, toasted
    -1 Tbsp garlic hummus
    -1 tsp yellow mustard
    -1 Tbsp salsa
    -fresh cracked pepper

    Total: 111 calories

    this fills me up so much that it has actually served as a meal sometimes if i wasn't terribly hungry to start with. but otherwise, a GREAT snack at 111 calories!! :)

    I would either work out to have more calories or do a fat free ice cream for desert. skinny cow makes individual services that are 150 calories.

    i'd go with 3/4 cup egg beaters added to sauteed spinach, some seasoning, and a handful of various chopped veggies.

    1 cup of kale sauteed with some garlic, a handful of brussels sprouts, 1/2 cup sauerkraut, drizzled with soy sauce and a teeny bit of olive oil. Comes out to almost 100 calories exactly for a nice big plate of food. Yummmmm.

    You guys are going to think I'm insane, but I love tomatoes. LOVE them. A whole tomato (washed well and eaten like an apple) = 25 calories! :) Woot!

    Egg Beater Omlet. 3/4 cup egg beaters, 1/8 cup Pico De Gallo, and Hot Sauce should come out to 98 Calories and is very filling
