What do you eat when you're ravenous and only have 100 cals

I am never "ravenous" I make sure my protein and fiber intake reach their goals. That is what will keep you on track!0

I like chocolate mini rice cakes. At 60 calories for about 7 rice cakes it tides me through to the next meal without using up all my calories.
Bump! These are especially yummy with a little bit of peanut butter! You can get dried peanut butter that has a fraction of the calories of the regular stuff, just reconstitute with some water!0 -
A typical rule of thumb is to make sure you're getting adequate protein and fat. Those will help you feel satiated throughout the day. Your diary is closed, so it's hard to give targeted advice to you.0

Anything high protien: Eggs, baby Bel cheeses etc. My body usually feels hungry like that if i've had too many carbs and not enugh protien in a day.0

A whole bag of steamed broccoli - with a little dressing on it.0

2 boiled eggs is 136 calories. I jsut brought some to work for a snack later! Protein always fills me up. Carbs usually make me hungry about an hour later..0

So, you've got about 100cals left and you're feeling really hungry. I have a massive appetite most days and am always on the look out for low cal foods that make you feel really full.
One of my favourite ones is making up a packet of Paxo stuffing mix.
I'll grant ya it's not the most sophisticated of foods but at 60cals for 50g its a big bowl of sage and onioney goodness that stops me going back to the fridge for something else.
If I have blown all my calories by mid-day, screw it.
I call today a "free day", eat and move on.
If it's 6pm, I might eat to maintenance and just buck up for tomorrow.
And if it's 9pm or later, I choke down some cottage cheese with an apple and go over just a bit, then try to drink some water and go to sleep.
Again, it just depends.
The thing I will NOT do is just not eat, starving myself to total failure, because what you are going through is a major trigger for a binge in my world.
I'd rather manage a controlled lapse than a full blown food orgy.
Good Luck!0 -
Protein for sure, an egg, a little slice of cheese, some cottage cheese....0
-
Honestly? If I'm that hungry nothing that is only 100 calories will work, so I exercise to get more calories.0

Hot mint or spearmint herbal tea with 1 Tbsp. Honey :happy: and then brush my teeth0

It's unusual for me to be ravenous if I've nearly maxed out my calories for the day... sometimes that happens when I've done a late evening workout though. I just eat and don't really worry about the fact I might go over on calories. It seems to even out throughout the entire week, so I've started really looking at the larger weekly window of calories allowed instead of just focusing on one day.
But when I'm ravenous, aside from just eating whatever I can find (and this isn't bad for me, because we don't usually bring junk home from the store), I'll go for dense calorie rich foods like meat, cheese, nuts, eggs. Just seems more efficient.0 -
A cup of Swiss Miss Diet Hot Chocolate. And, at only 25 calories, sometimes I have two!0

I think you're talking about PB2. Good stuff!!0 -
This happened to me last night...I scrambled an egg and put a little bit of goat cheese (1 tsp), salsa (2 TB), and sour cream (1 TB). It was really good and quick!0

If I've only got 100cals left and I'm that hungry I eat... 200cals or more It's not going to affect you long term goal.0
-
Like someone else said on here, if I get to that point I would do a bunch of exercises so I have earned more calories, therefore I can eat a little more. But if I don't then I usually scramble an egg in the microwave because it makes the egg more fluffy and it really seems like I am eating more.0

I always find it helpful to drink as much water as humanly possible (0 cals and makes you feel full!) Then eat some fruit, if you need to (i like grapefruit with a teaspoon of sugar.)0

I eat plain greek yogurt with a drizzle of honey and either fresh blueberries/raspberries or granola...depending on how many calories i have left.0
-
Greek yogurt, cottage cheese, mini babybell, hard boiled egg, deli meat, salad, or soup (with lots of veggies & broth).
But honestly I would never let myself get ravenous - I would rather go over 100-200 calories
or
Workout and eat a proper meal0
