Extra Calories - What do you eat?

I do my cardio first thing in the AM, before breakfast. Then I have all day to make up those calories by just adding a little extra to each meal like an extra serving of veg or upping my protein by about half a serving. Or I add in a healthful but higher calorie snack like nuts, dried fruit and cheese when I normally wouldn't have had one. One of my favorite go-to snacks is low sodium turkey and reduced fat Swiss cheese rolled together in a lettuce leaf. If I have calories left in the evening, I sometimes splurge and have a half serving of something sweet like ice cream or a brownie with dinner but mostly I try to stick to Greek yoghurt with fruit, the fruit/nut/cheese I mentioned before or even a bowl of cereal. I treat myself to a small piece of dark chocolate just about every night, so I might have a little more of that than usual too. Saving them works too, I usually count my calories by the week, and do a bit of a zig-zag eating plan so I have some days when I can eat more and not feel guilty for going over a limit.

Personally I like to save them for the days when my husband wants pizza or steak. But you earned them; do what you'd like!
