544 calories left and its only 2pm

I have days like this where i run out of calories before the day ends. I try not to stress out too much if I go over by maybe 100 calories. Never go hungry! Would you rather feel satisfied or hungry? I don't feel that 100 calories over once a week will make much a difference. 100 calories over is still better than 500 calories, right?

Try the campbell's soup recipes. Some of them are really low in calories and they are really tasty too. (http://www.campbellskitchen.com)

Also, just soup by itself is a low- cal meal or one of those salads in a bag that come with all the ingredients. Or a healthy choice frozen dinner. I usually think about what I'm going to eat for the night and try it out on the calorie counter before hand just to see if I am within my count, if not, I think of something else until it fits within my count.

I hope this helps!

I usually hit the Gym when I know I'm going to go over my calories because I made some not smart choices during the day. Half an hour of jogging or eleptical will give you some calories to eat.

If you can fit in some type of exercise activity, you'll technically have more calories to eat for later, since you need to eat your exercise calories back anyway.

If you haven't messed around with the calorie counting as far as tracking exercise goes, track a realistically hypothetical cardiovascular activity, like walking or something for whatever duration you would actually do, then look at how many calories it says you have left for the day. You'll notice that you now have more to consume, since your body needs more calories to maintain energy for output.

If you're at home or in your office, you can literally do wall or desk push-ups, chair dips, take a little stroll outside on your lunch break, etc. Anything you do outside of literally just laying in bed and breathing requires energy for your body to produce. So, the remaining calories you have left are practically just an estimate. Don't feel bad if you go over by a little. Again, if you feel bad about it, do something that makes you feel the little bit of extra intake was appropriately worth it.

if you're constantly feeling hungry on 1290 calories a day, maybe you should consider increasing your calorie intake just a bit. being hungry all the time isn't going to help you lose weight!

my favorite go to recipe is a pizza made with cauliflower crust. it's the perfect size for two people, and half of it is only 400 calories :] (just beware, i have to eat it with a fork, it falls apart pretty easily. but it tastes SO GOOD).

Wow ... I may have to try this ... Pizza is the hardest thing for me to resist.

I make the pizza and it is good. Be careful of the cheese though. You could also try a piece of grilled salmon or favorite fish on bed of greens. The protien will help you feel full and its' pretty easy.

I would drink water and lots of it...it will help you feel full. I like to eat fish. It is only 100 per filet deending on what kind and how you make it but it is easy to cook and tastes so good! Good luck!

some days you're just hungrier than others / try drinking lots of water, or sometimes hot liquids (like tea or veggie soup) helps your belly feel full. if you were under your cals on a past day count them for today if you go over, so you're still good for the week or when i have days like that, i eat a LOT of veggies. stop at the groccery store & pick up a couple bags of veggie steamers & the spray salad dressing that has like 2 calories a spritz & go to town & make sure you drink lots of water in there & you'll be really full & flush out your digestive track too ) good luck!

Maybe you should plan out your meals the night before or the morning before you eat. That way you will make sure you have plenty of calories left throughout the day. That is what I have done since day 1. It works really well (:
