    What do you have in the house? Just eat a variety of things until you reach your target. Orange juice with eggs and cheese and half a peanut butter sandwich should get you there.

    Depends on what kind of food you have in the house... salads are always a great option - raw spinach with a couple slice grape tomatoes and carrot slivers, most of the time I won't even use a salad dressing for it... sandwiches are a pretty decent option as well - 1 can of tuna = 80 calories, 2 slices of bread = 140 (if 70 calories a slice), a teaspoon or two of mayonaise (regular, fat free, or vegenaise, or whatever else)...
    peanutbutter or almond butetr with fruit preserves is also not too bad on calories... oatmeal.... yogurt & millet or flax seed...
    If you have eggs, you could either do hard boiled eggs or an egg salad... same with a potato (baked or mashed, or chopped into potato salad).


    Oops.. never mind.. I see you have no bread, fruit or veggies.... what about eggs, tuna (or some other fishy type food), or potatoes?

    Well.. if you have milk or juice in the house, it's very very easy to drink up those calories! (bonus with milk is getting some extra protein and calcium)...

    600 calories is actually not much depending on what you eat. I just consumed 700 cals for dinner and will probably go over tonight. Just forage in the cabinents and eat. Eating not so healthful food once in a while will not kill you.

    Do try them! I usually make a double batch so that they last me for about two weeks. They stay fresh the whole time! I think you will find these VERY satisfying and they are listed in the recipes too. Good luck and I hope you enjoy.

    Oh, one more thing... have two similar recipes...one is with wheat flour and is listed as Low-Cal Oatmeal Cran-Raisin Cookies and then this one of course listed as Oatmeal Cran-Raisin Cookies: Choose your cookie and just sit back and enjoy!

    If you have nothing, then I guess you can't eat anything, right. If you're struggling to find something with nothing, you'll have found emptiness. No bread, fruits, or veggies. What about a can of soup? You didn't say you don't have that. If you don't what about...Saltine crackers, with cheese? Or as others have said, drink your calories. Indulge in a nice hot cup of hot chocolate, or coffee? If nothing sounds appealing to you, maybe you're not really hungry. Drink some water. That may curb your hunger. A lot of times people feel hungry, and they're really not, they're actually thirsty. I'm sure you'll figure something out. Do you maybe have sunflower seeds lying around. The ones that come with the shell already off are about 200 cals. for 1/4 cup. A lot of calories, but they're said to be healthy. Best of luck.

    if you can't meet your cals one day, i think it is ok, maybe even beneficial. just make sure you eat a nice breakfast in the AM, and all your cals during the rest of the day.
