Not enough calories? What do you do?

Thanks everyone! Since I have started MFP I have not had a peanut butter and jelly sandwich- shoot I have not even had peanut butter... didn't want to give up the calories! I guess I got so used to NOT eating it due to the high calories I forgot all about it. Looks like I will be having a peanut butter and jelly sandwich for supper with extra peanut butter! :happy:0

It is during those times that you assemble a healthy snack plate. Some nuts, sliced fruit, a small piece of cheese, that kind of thing. Maybe some veggies with hummus and a whole wheat pita. I try to eat a little more earlier in the day when I know I'm exercising more than normal, because it stinks having to rush to eat at 8 o'clock at night.0

Have fun with your hate mail.
I posted something similar to this yesterday, and got over 20 angry messages.0 -
Does anyone ever have days where you find yourself at the end of the day with LOTS of calories, at least more then on a normal day, left over? If so how do you get your minimum calories in for that day? What do you seek out to eat? I am having a stressful day and finding it difficult to eat which means if I don't eat something now I will have a larger amount of calories to get in for supper time and I just don't like to do that.0

Definitely peanut butter... or some peanuts or almonds...
I also do one cheat meal/day once per week. I find that it helps with weight loss actually because it keeps my body guessing. You could always have a cheat meal if you didn't feel "bad" for going OVER your calories one day (I don't). This is the one day a week where I order pasta alfredo or something like that (not a binge day, just a "I can get whatever I'm craving for one meal" day).
Good luck!
Chocolate milk is a really good snack too!0 -

Any healthy sort of fat. Like everyone else has been suggesting, I am a fan of peanut butter (<- nothing is as successful at sabotaging my diet). Also consider fats from sources such as avocado or olives. They are also high in calories, but nutrient dense. I wouldn't suggest indulging in something unhealthy which you wouldn't normally consume such as a sweet since it will increase the likeliness of you craving it later. Definitely opt for something with lots of nutrients!0
