    The only thing you can do now is go out and exercise and earn that next meal. I know it is very tough, but try a 30-60 minute walk.

    go for a walk :) or do a quick 15 minute rotation of jumping jacks, squats, etc.....burn some extra cals so that you can make sure you actually get FULL at dinner!!! nothing like trying to sleep on an empty belly...... you could also spend the calories on something very filling....like brown rice, lean chicken? it can be done =)

    I make sure I exercise every day to allow that bit of flexibility. Have you planned meal and then go for a brisk walk. You'll be surprised at how many calories that will "buy" you back. Also, if its only once, don't beat yourself up. You can adjsut the rest of your week

    I would get moving. Any movement will get you going. If you have some laundry and you would have to walk stairs to get to the laudry room you would kill two birds with one stone and you would be up to do some other kind of exercise. No matter what, just get moving.

    Trader joes has a great Peppercorn Garlic Boneless Pork Tenderloin that you can bake or grill...3 oz is about 100 calories. Pair that with some plain, steamed veggies (I personally love zucchini or broccoli) and you should be good. I always like to take a quick lap around the neighborhood on days I'm border lining my calorie quota. It's an easy way to help earn a few extra calories.

    My dinner is only 317 calories, 6 ounces of grilled chicken, 1 cup steamed brocoli, a sprinkle of myzithra cheese, and a cup of roasted potatoes. Also agree with everyone else a little exercise could do wonders.

    Stuff yourself full with vegies!! Lots of lettuce, fresh spinach, onions and peppers,cucumbers and mushrooms - not many calories and lots of fiber to keep you full!

    Of course exercise if not whole wheat pasta is frequently only 200 calories for a cup and then you can add bunches of veggies. I find that if I have little left I need something bready to make me feel full. Comparatively a chicken breast can be in that as long as you cook it healthily.

    Hungry Girl has an entire recipe book of UNDER 300 CALORIE MEALS!! :) You can go to her website and look up recipes...they are so delish and very low in calorie!!! :)

    My go-to low cal meal is an egg white omelet, stuffed with sauteed spinach, onion, pepper, etc....depending on how many egg whites you use, and what veggies, you can make them as low as 100 cals!!!

    A common dish around my house is Goulash. Lean beef coupled with low sodium porkNbeans, and a small can of no salt added tomato sauce. Feeds 5, and comes in about 237 calories. this lets me add green beans, and sometimes a slice of 45cal bread.
    A thirty minute fast paced walk earns me about 200 calories to allow for a 100cal snack before bed too :P

    Good luck~

    I totally agree with Debbie! Try to get a workout in but if you don't...PLEASE don't let it consume you. Just allow the day to pass. Tomorow is a new day!

    4 oz frozen tillapia and 1/4 cup brown rice ( before cooked) about 240 calories so you might even be able to get away with more rice. I personally had veggies through the day so had no need for more. but it was a good meal none the less.

    Hi i am new aswell. I love the tip to open my diary. I suppose that would mean i need to get busey tracking my food. I am very bad at remembering to do this daily, The other posters are right , walk walk walk, i make sure to park farther away now. no more looking for that upfront parking. I walk when ever i can. I am down 7 pounds in the 2 weeks sence i began. Good Luck.

    Have some chicken and veggies. Boneless skinless chicken breast is approximately 30 calories an ounce.

    Heck, i'm having spaghetti and turkey meatballs tonite and it's only running 340 calories, so you'll be able to find something that can fit your needs.

    And you can always go for a walk around the block to add some extra calories to your day.

    One thing I make sure to do as often as I can is to plan all of my meals out first thing in the morning. This helps prevent having no calories left at dinner time. :smile:


    (and I agree with everyone else...go for a walk and earn some extra calories. You'll be fine! :flowerforyou: )
