    i indulged in some chocolate earlier and changed my dinner to a bowl of butternut squash soup and some kidney beans. only 150 cals, but based on your net calories being under 1200, you can stand to have 300-350 calories. I always believe that i overestimate my calories burned and underestimate my calories taken in, so I like to leave 100 calories for some wiggle room. :)

    how is it that you only have 220 left yet you didn't REALLY indulge at all? is your calorie target high enough?

    I say a 3oz chicken breast (~90-100 calories) over a couple cups spinach (20 calories) 1/2 oz feta (~40 calories) and 1/2 cup black beans (50 calories) ... Drizzle with balsamic vinegar (10 calories) = 210-220 calories

    Well, it says:

    Goal 1280 Food 1452 Exercise - 427 Net 1025

    Am I missing something? Do I secretly have 600 calories left? (...dear god say yes...)

    I think you did mine says 1056 cals remaining then under that it says
    Goal 1430 Food 1014 Exercise- 640 Net 374
    What does it say in green for remaining?

    If you're only looking to loss about 10 pounds you should be at dropping 1/2 a week.. your calorie goal should be higher than 1280.
    I'd also suggest a high protein dinner to keep you filled! :)

    go for a nice casual 1 hour walk BEFORE dinner... then add those calories to your 220. This will give you some more options

    Well, I got desperate and added my walk to and from the subway, and the subway steps--and so now it says 255 remaining in green.

    2 eggs and 1/2 cup of every veggie you can find in your fridge. I am a huge fan of spinach, red peppers, mushrooms, and onions. Throw all of the veggies in the pan and let them cook up for a minute or two, and then pour in your eggs (scrambled) and cook them up. It's crazy how filling it can be.
