    You say a burger, but it could be that you just need protein. I've come across this a couple times. I have tried a protein drink and then chewed some gum. It worked for me. hth.

    Burgers are easily my favorite food in the world. My healthier alternatives now are veggie burgers without the bun, cheese, barbeque sauce, mayo, bacon, etc. Honestly the Morningstar Spicy Black Bean Burger and even their Veggie Garden Patties have pretty much helped control my burger cravings without being overboard on calories and excess fat. Maybe go veggie instead?

    I don't believe in traditional "diets". We need to adjust our overall eating to something we can maintain forever- diet in the broadest term.

    Instead of looking at the calories by the day, try to think by the week. Sure, the burger will put you over today, but could you eat a little less for the next few days - just by 50 calories or so - so that within a 7 day period your calories average to what your daily total should be? It's a little extra work, but I think it helps to put everything in perspective.

    Were it me, and I was hungry, I'd have it. Just skip the high calorie toppings- stick to veggies, mustard, ketchup, etc....

    This!

    Your goal is bigger than a burger.

    I know it doesn't help for today, but try planning things like burgers into your day. Whenever I know I'm going to want something fatty or high in calories (like fast food or a big bowl of pasta) I go light on my other meals to make up for it. Having half a bagel instead of a whole one for breakfast, cutting out side dishes at lunch, those calories add up and you can splurge a little at dinner. Going for a walk to burn some of those calories helps, too.

    Stop worrying about calories and just throw the bun away, that's the worst part of a burger by far.

    Yeah! What this person said. AGREE!!

    How about do some fast pace walking for about 30 minutes around the neighborhood. That will add to your 73 cal.

    Drink a big glass of water......wait 20 minutes and then if you still really want it then dont deprive yourself. Usually when i do this i dont even want what im craving after 20 minutes.

    If it were me (on day 5), I'd sweat it out for half an hour, then eat it. This is for the long haul... so deprivation shouldn't be part of the plan. :) Make good decisions and workout.

    This!! I calorie cycle just so I can have a day to eat out of my norm, and then the other days I eat below my calorie goal. As long as I manage the average for the week, it works for me. But instead of a traditional fatty burger, make yourself a turkey burger with a light bun and skip the cheese.

    For this week I think I have been under calorie on two days by around 250-300 altogether,the burger I want is a home made one that you put in the grill and just add a whole meal bread and tomato ketchup,it's only 7.39pm so I'm going to try and hold out until 8.30 if I ABSOLUTLY must eat one I will make it if not I think I may just go over a few points and make a bowl of porridge which is still a lot of cals but healthier I think,I know about being hungry enough to eat carrots I say the same thing to my children lol but I need to give my taste buds and body a lil time to adjust to fresh foods if I rush and never feel like I'm satified with what I eat I know I'll fail,thank you everyone for support I feel stupid but I know you all have been there,and as for birthday cake omg I love it way too much!

    If you are going to eat it, it would be better to eat it earlier rather than later. Plus you have time to burn a few extra calories to help even it out a little. If its something you really want and are hungry, then do it. If not, and you just want it in your mouth, then its not worth it.
