What do you eat when you have calories left over?

Always something sweet for sure,I have a huge sweet tooth and always throw it into my calorie intake!!

Depends. If I am hungry I have a snack (yogurt, peanut butter, etc). If I am craving something sweet I will have a Skinny Cow. If I'm not really hungry but want to get some calories in I drink a glass of milk.

I'm at 1490 calories, and always have leftover calories for the day because of exercise. I choose not to eat them, but sometimes throw in a low carb/high fiber or protein bedtime snack to help my morning blood sugar. It's nice to have the 'cushion'. Though honestly I often have over 1000 calories remaining. (I'm exercising 30 min 2x per day.)

Looking forward to seeing everyone's responses as well.

I don't eat anything unless I'm hungry. But if I must, I eat something healthy that I'm craving. I save my bad meals for the weekend if I have done well all week.

Yummy doesn't have to be sinful. I love a glass of chocolate milk at bedtime. There's also some amazingly delicious protein bars.

I don't like to leave any more than 100 calories untouched.

I like to have my version of dessert! Silhouette dessert yogurt or plain vanilla yogurt with added nuts and fruit! One of my fav combinations is vanilla yogurt with a spoonful of natural crunchy peanut butter, pecans, and a little bit of granola or oatmeal. Taste like a peanut butter oatmeal cookie

Running into the same problem.

On non excercise days: I get used to eating only so much (it's a lot of food by the way, just healthy so doesn't count for a lot of calories), so on exercise day's if I haven't planned an upgrade in calories throughout the day I'm getting stuck with a gap at the end.

I don't want to eat more and stretch my stomach, nor do I want to have to resort to non-clean foods. Being the weekend it's allowed me to have a few drinks, but not an everyday solution.

I eat 10 almonds as a snack, but might need to get some more varied nuts/sweet dried fruits in??


Anyone have some suggestions for high calorie snacks that are loaded with nutrients but not a lot to eat? Preferably non-dairy/wheat?

I was wondering the same thing as I too have heap of calories left at the end of the day because of exercise and then it tells me Im not eating enough and will store fat! Do I really have to eat all those extra calories when Im not hungry?

If I'm craving something sweet I will have a little bit of something otherwise I save those calories as roll overs for when I go over. I'm sure it doesn't really work that way but I like to think it does and then I don't feel so bad if I go over.

Usually peanut butter

ANYTHING I'M HUNGRY FOR. that way I don't feel like I'm dieting. ritz crackers with fontinella cheese is a favorite. but only 4-5 and I try to stay around a half ounce of cheese-sliced thin...maybe some thin sliced pepperoni too. rice cake with peanut butter.....lately I've been trying to get extra fruit like a banana in.. popcorn....

I find that almond butter on crackers can put back calories for me. I am allergic to peanuts or I would eat peanut butter. But, this is healthy. Also, sunflower seeds are healthy.

Depends. If I'm not hungry nothing. I eat when I'm hungry only. Sometimes I will have carrots or just drink water.

Milk! I used to deink about 8 glasses a day and cut most of it out but I really appreciate it when I have calories left over.

if i am hungry i will eat if not then i dont. but if i am hungry and have left over calories i usually eat eggs, peanut butter toast or just peanut butter (i am addicted as you will see if you look at my diary :happy: ). i love protein shakes or if i am craving something sweet i eat a hersheys dark chocolate bar (180 calories of pure heaven i swear! )
