I have 521 calories left for the day and haven't had dinner. I need some quick and easy higher calorie dinner ideas.

    Wholewheat pasta, Pesto and tuna is a good healthy meal for just over 500 cals :) It is one of my favourites! x

    get some quick exercise in and earn 200 more. Even if it is a walk around the block or some jump roping. I have just found Exercise TV ON DEMAND on Comcast...there are 4 minutes workouts and then there are 50 minute work outs. Usually earns me my carbs or wine!

    6 ounce top sirloin , medium baked potato, slice whole wheat bread, 1/2 cup of cottage cheese. That will get you pretty close.

    add some almonds to your diet, or even peanut butter. a lot of times when i'm short calories, and still need to work out, i'll eat a couple spoons of peanut butter, and be good to go. .

    just adding a bit of cheese will help push it up. If you still have too many calories left over after dinner try eating a bit of peanut butter, or even a single slice of store bought bread tends to be over 100 calories.

    I'm not trying to earn more calories for dinner, I just need dinner ideas that are about 500 calories.
