I've reached my calorie goal for the day....and it's only lunch time! Any ideas for VERY low calorie, but satisfying dinners?

You realize that you need to do a bit of planning for a better day right? 

Some ideas for your supper....good large salad with a bit of protein in it.  Will fill you up and also provide the protein. 

My suggestion for dinner is don't panic.  It's like with medicine:  If you miss a dose don't double up; just return to your usual dosage the next day.  Well, if you eat too many calories too soon, don't undereat the rest of the day; just get back on track.  Eat what you usually would for dinner.  Don't panic.  You're okay.  You can survive a few hundred extra calories, just for today.

Listen to Joni, she knows what she's talking about and don't feel bad!  I did the exact same thing today!  You're not alone.  (well, I didn't go over...yet, but I will)  It happens.  You'll do better tomorrow.  If you're still really freaked out, eat a ton of veggies and like, 4oz of skinless/boneless chicken breast or firm, white-fleshed fish like tilapia grilled/broiled, basically what Patsy suggested.

Good luck, be nice to you,

Karen
