Ok I'm having a bad day. Total binge. I have 200 calories left for dinner (I could go over, but then I'd go over my TDEE as my goal is my TDEE).

What's the most filling dinner you can find for 200 calories? Thinking bag of frozen veggies and some ham steak or something.

    You've still got the 245 calories you were short on Monday. CICO isn't completely a daily thing--just keep your average for the week and you'll be fine.

    Yeah but I still want to lose a couple pounds so I'm trying to keep a deficit most days.

    Nothing too filling for that little calories unless you do some extra excercise and eat back those calories.

    If you get desperate, I've done albacore tuna straight from the can, no mayo or Miracle Whip... protein fills you up. Throw it on some green beans and it might not be half bad.

    Just eat a little less tomorrow then. Like I said, it's all an average.

    This recipe is for chicken, each drumstick is 106 calories... I don't know if 2 drumsticks would fill you up, but it's a delicious recipe. I did it last night and I have leftovers for today's lunch.

    Cereal is a good one when I am in a pinch. My go to, now, is protein cheerios. Love the stuff. I was shocked at the volume per serving. A serving size is 1¼ Cup. It's 210 calories and with Skim it's 250.

    Adjust the servicing size for your needs. You'll still be surprised at the volume.

    Another is soup. Many Progresso soups are 200 calories for a whole can (2 servings).

    I would probably have a bag of frozen vegetables and a chicken breast.

    Omelette (just one egg) with tomato, mushroom, onion and low-fat cheese. Tastes good and easy to make :)

    People doing TDEE method don't eat back exercise calories though.

    I often have scrambled eggs with veggies when I'm low on calories.

    Fill up on veggies, and throw a little bit of protein in (maybe an egg or tuna)
