I'm so hungry right now cos I ate really crappy today and used up my cals really fast. I have 188 cals before I reach my daily goal...anybody got any ideas of something that'll fill me up but it's too calorie rich? Thanks :)

    I suggest going over just a smidge with a salad (100 grams of lettuce is really alot and only 11 calories). Try to ditch the dressing and make it tasty with veggies and maybe some banana pepper rings. Then add in something else low cal like steamed veggies, egg whites (a sizeable amount with salsa can add up to about 50 calories), or even some tofu.

    Hope that helps.

    ditto on the salad comment- just make sure it's got protein and stick to all veggies, no fattening calorie filled things like dressing (maybe have a low fat vinegrette or something) or croutons. I like adding a packet of tuna to my salad- tasty and low cal with lots of protein.

    Stick to anything protein. All of the above are right try egg whites, lean meat, greek yogurt or a protein bar or protein shake.

    For the bars and shakes just make sure they are the right kind, bar should have at least 17gr protein and shakes should have 25gr or more of protein.

    Remember, tomorrow is a new day, don't take today with ya, its gone and done!

    You can do it, just get back on track!

    I go high fibre...something like a small bowl of All Bran flakes (3/4 cup) and low fat milk will hold you for a bit.

    Stir fry a bunch of veggies, toss in a few prawns and half a cup of cooked brown rice.

    Keep in mind that your calorie goal puts you at a deficit... so, depending on what your weekly weight loss goal is set to, say 1lb per week, that's a 500 calorie per day deficit. So, even if you exceed your daily goal by a couple hundred calories, you will still be eating at a deficit for the day.

    Steamed veggies, 4 ozs of wild caught salmon and tea. If you're still hungry, try going to bed early. When I have a bad eating day and come dinner time I'm starving but only have a few calories left, I eat something really light and go to bed. Because I know the longer I'm up, the greater the chance of me binging on something unhealthy.

    Really good advice everyone, thanks. I went with the egg white omelette and tonnes of veggies. Yum :) I plan on some exercise soon so that should be ok :)
