    For next time, try not to save calories for later in the day. It will make it easier to spread out your calories throughout the day. For today I guess you could eat high calorie content foods such as nuts, peanut butter, meat, eggs, etc... If you exercise later in the day try to estimate how many calories you will burn earlier in the day so you have an idea how many calories you can eat in every meal. I hope this helps...:flowerforyou:

    It takes a little while to get used to spreading your calories out. Try eating more frequent meals to get them in. How many calories do you have each day maybe I can help. I have a lot to get in and it hard to eat them all in healthy calories.

    Yeah, I would agree with the Peanut butter/Jelly thing. At least the calories and fat are somewhat good ones!

    I actually had this problem the other day, too, and with all the talk going around about not losing your weight because your body is in starvation mode, I kinda freaked!! But I had some almonds and a piece of cheese and pretty much killed my calorie defecit! :happy:

    Well, if not PB&J how about some nuts? They're filling and have a lot of (good) calories.

    Nuts. Once you measure it out...you're not getting a whole lot and the calories add up.

    A full grilled cheese sandwich adds up as well.

    My son turned me on to mixing a fresh avacado and a banana and whipping that up. Pretty high in calories and avacados are very good for you.
