I have done fairly well today and have already added in my single glass of Chardonney that I plan on having after work this eve. That said, I have 360 calories left before bed. Anyone have any good ideas on something filling I should try. I am not extremely hungry, but I know how those few hours before bedtime go and I don't want to end up eyeing the dog food because I didn't eat enough dinner.

Thanks!:drinker:

    Have a salad, skip dressing and use a hot sauce. Spice it up. Grilled Chicken maybe for some protein.

    Salads give you a nice volume of food, hot sauce and jalapeños always seem to make me feel fuller longer.

    Well 360 isn't that many calories for dinner but if you aren't that hungry, you could go with a lean piece of meat (chicken or fish) and a nice salad. If you are hungrier, do a little bit of a workout and earn some extra calories and have a larger dinner and/or snack. Good luck to you and don't eat the dog food lol:)

    yes! I agree, salads are very filling for me especially if you fill it with tons of vegetables and lean protein meat. Then drink lots of water!! :)

    good luck!

    Last night we made mcmuffins, soo good, and just the right amount to fill you up. Muffin 140 calories, egg was 90 and I added 1 slice of cheese singles and a slice of lunch meat.. all in all it was about 300 calories! I was impressed considering mcdonalds mcmuffin are close to 600 calories and it tastd the same if not better!!!

    When I have less than 400ish cal I will make a turkey wrap. I use the flatout for my bread. It is 90-100 cal for one.
    Then I use the oscar myer honey turkey (6 slices for 50Cal), hand full of spinich (about 5cal) and then 1tbsp of Bolthouse Yougert Ranch dressing (35cal) Wrap that all up and then I have 1oz (about a hand full) of Sunchips garden salsa (140ish cal)
    All together it is 330ish cal. And I feel full but not heavy...so I can go to sleep.
    Good luck!

    Grilled chicken salad or a half of cup of rice with one chicken breast and a side salad.
    Make sure that the rice is white or brown only, no adding other stuff to it and not fried, steamed only.

    I would have a turkey bacon BLT on lite bread. The bacon is oly 35 cals per slice and you can get bread that is only 45 cals per 2 slices. Add some tomato, light mayo and lettuce and you will be under 360!! I have been addicted to these sandwiches as of late and they rule.

    Another low cal option is turkey chili, might be nice on a brisk day like today......well depending on where you live:)

    Good luck

    135 calorie tuna roll
    10 carbs

    21 protein
    7 fiber
    0 sugar

    One of my new favorite ways to fill up calories :) 1 can of tuna mixed with 10g of dijon mustard and spread onto a tortilla. delicious!

    hmm, I would eat a serving and a half of strawberry mini wheats.
    though an egg and an english muffin sounds good too =O

    Grilled tilapia and veggie taco with fresh fruit:

    grill some tilapia with lemon and a bit of oil and whatever herbs you have on hand (4 oz for about 100 cals)

    also throw on the grill: fresh asparagus, tomatoes, and/or green beans tossed with a bit of olive oil and season salt (under 100 cals)

    roll up with salsa (essentially 0) in a Smart and Delicious brand tortilla (50 cals).

    Add some fresh raspberries (about 1 cal each), strawberries, mango, whatever (total under 40 cals).

    yum.
