Okay, it's late in the day and you only have a few calories left....oh let's say around hundred, or less. What do you eat to quell that hunger?

    Greek yogurt with some fruit mixed in. But If I'm hungry, i don't freak out about going 50 or 100 cals over! Better that than a fridge raid later that night because I'm starving!

    I have a hard time with that situation, but I do try to set myself up for success by preparing snacks ahead of time for these types of moments. I love carrots and apples so I keep my fridge stocked at all times. I have also found that soups work to fill that hunger since most are around 100-200 calories and are mostly liquid and veges. I have also n oticed that if you follow any of your snacks with a large glass of water then you will feel a whole lot more full than if you were to just eat the snack alone.

    PB2 on a rice cake, cup of hot chocolate, or some Greek yogurt.

    I second the hard boiled egg, and I also like the 100 cal bags of popcorn :)

    At 100, popcorn...less than that, pickles!

    I eat soup. The high water content keeps me full for a very small number of calories.

    A hot drink such as a cup of tea or Horlicks, but if I'm really hungry I'll eat something small that'll satisfy me, going over the calories on a rare occasion doesn't matter too much :)

    I agree with all of the suggestions. Baby carrots arae great too. You can have about 6-7 ounces of the carrots for 100 calories.

    I like eating the 100cal popcorn but if I don't have any I eat pickles (careful of the sodium!) I also drink another glass of water to make sure I'm not just dehydrated.

    some kind of nut butter and hot tea. i eat it off the spoon like a lollipop rather than just scarfing it down.

    I get on my treadmill (I have one at home) and then I eat what I want with the calories I've earned.

    Popcorn. The whole bag is less than 100 calories. Makes me feel like im eating a lot and getting a treat!

    Maybe an apple.

    If I'm really hungry or studying I wouldn't hesitate to go 200-300 calories over though.

    Something with fiber and or protein. String cheese stuffed into celery, salsa and veggies, fat free cottage cheese.

    My favorite thing to eat when I'm low on the calorie count is a 100 calorie bag of popcorn. It's filling, and 100 calories goes a way when it comes to popcorn!

    Cooked broccoli with marinara sauce on top and a big cup of hot tea. It reminds me of spaghetti, kind of.
