    Drink lots of water, that will help you feel full.

    i don't like salad, but i lean vegetarian. You can eat more veggies and feel satisfied. a long time ago, I learned the goal, of being vegetarian is not to eat till you are full, but eat till you are satisfied.

    Seconded on the drinking of water.

    Just out of curiosity, how many calories per day are you allowing yourself? Most dieticians say less than 1500 calories a day will put your body into starvation mode.

    If you are trying to stay fuller longer the best options are Protein, fiber and water.

    Protein can be lean meats/fish, greek yogurt, cottage cheese, nuts

    Fiber is veggies (Not potatos, corn or peas)

    Water is anything that is Non Carbonated, Decaf and No Sugar.

    Best of Luck!

    You could make a big stir fry of whatever veggies you have (lots of them!) and toss in some shrimp! (low cal, low fat, high protein)

    According to your profile, you're in Oklahoma, which means it should be early afternoon for you - why have you only had 200 calories? How about you eat a real meal - with healthy protein, carbs and fat - and that will certainly help make the hunger go away! If your base calories are 1200 (which I'm only guessing since that's what many people on this site default to, unfortunately), you should've had at least 500-600 calories so far today, with another meal and possibly another snack or two left.

    I'm allowed 1200.. and I usually don't meet that.. but it's because I do drink a lot of water.. being "thirsty hungry" isn't the issue.. I need to feed the urge of feeling full.... I haven't felt full in a long time.. and that's good, but today I just need it lol...

    and drinking lotrs of water just makes me feel bloated , not satisfied hunger wise.

    Oh, I misread that... I thought you only had 200 calories LEFT for the day!

    high calorie "good fats" like nuts and peanut butter. On an apple, on whole grain toast, or just nuts straight....
    cook your meat for dinner in olive oil.
    I can easily make a piece of chicken have 400 cals and still be healthy. and I can make a peanut butter and nutella sandwich on seeded bread that's like 600 calories and awesome...

    there are a vast number of ways to get your calories in.
    The most important thing right now is that you go EAT. You can not survive on 200 calories a day.

    You should be looking for high cal, yet healthy, since you are so under today.
    Don't worry about veggies and such as those will make you TOO FULL without getting the calories you NEED into you.

    How about a couple of 40 calorie fudge popsicles? Or one of the skinny cow ice cream treats?

    If not that, then I agree with the post that suggested popcorn.

    I've only had that much because I'm on a night shift schedule, and therefore I JUST WOKE UP... but thanks for the advice.

    A good really really easy one is cottage Cheese and oatcakes, have to go careful on the oatcakes but it will keep you full. Or eggs I think about 70 cals each.
    Other than that what already been said you have a chicken breast or fish and a really big plate full of green leafy veg for under 400 cals.

    I think the key to a healthy lifestyle is portion control. Don't eat like a rabbit, but eat frequently throughout the day to help keep you full.

    My favorite snacks are:

    Fudgsicles
    Low calorie ice cream rounds
    Caramel rice cake with peanut butter and banana on top
    Rice Krispie Treats (not as high in calorie as you might think)
    Tootsie pops (only 60 calories to satisfy a sweet craving)
    Baked tortilla chips and salsa
    Apples - to stave off the "I've got to have it NOW or I'm going to starve!" cravings
    Potatoes-microwave them for a quick fix that will fill you up. Just don't add fifty million pounds of cheese :)

    Mealwise, seafood and chicken is always a safe bet. You can eat much more of those than beef and pork. For instance, my seafood jambalaya is less than 400 calories and is totally filling. Instead of beef hamburgers, I buy frozen salmon patties and make burgers out of them. Find a low calorie spaghetti sauce you like. You can pair it with a decent amount of spaghetti for a filling meal.

    Hope this helps!

    well, that's a whole other story.

    You made it sound like you only had 200 for the whole day and it was bedtime and you had to eat a bunch now to meet your goal.

    So, it's really "breakfast" time for you then. You have all night into tomorrow to meet your goal. I know it's awkward, but don't go by the clock and reset at midnight. You just woke up, therefore your day is starting. Your day can go until you get home from work tomorrow and go back to bed. You have until THEN to eat all your calories.

    I don't think she's concerned about getting her calories in for the day. The fact is, it is morning for her and she is hungry and wants to eat something satisfying. She just wants some tips on a healthy snack that is not a salad and will not break the calorie bank.
