    Get a good calorie burn and eat almost anything you want. I just finished my second workout for the day. Beer Bratwurst for dinner!

    2-3 cups raw spinach (only a few calories)
    2 slices turkey bacon (trader joe's version would total 60 calories)
    2 tbsp fat free balsamic vinaigrette (25 calories)

    and add any other fruits/veggies to your salad to make it filling enough (cucumber is only a few calories too!)

    Pair it with a piece of whole fruit, and have a small cup of greek yogurt with honey and vanilla extract for dessert!

    Blah, that's not enough. Go for a half hour walk and get an extra 150 calories in there. Then you can pretty much have a good dinner.

    I vote go for a walk too :)

    I was near my calorie limit today and had some chocolate which pushed me over, my only choice was to do a 45 min walk lol.

    You will feel better for it too as well as fuller by eating more. Soup is a GREAT option when low on calories though :D
