Good luck, when I feel like i might over eat, I buy a bag of frozen green beans and eat as many as will make me feel full. they have really super low calorie counts, so you can feel full without feeling guilty.  

Have to be honest...did eat Mcdonald's today, but still within my calorie limit. In fact, I'm underneath and I'm satisfied. No more eats tonight, just exercise lol. That's an awesome idea, though! I love vegetables too. I'm going to definitely be using your tip when I find that I didn't really eat all day and may overeat later :) 

can some of you help me on this.. on here it says i need to eat 2100 cals.. i just cant seem to get them up there.. i walk every evening. so one day i only ate 18 cals walked 3 miles that takes 300 off so i am at 1500 cals for the day ok here is the question do i need to eat 700 more cals to make up to my 2100?  

I have a question right back lol...are you attempting to lose weight or maintain your current weight? I am attempting to lose weight (and much of it) so I was just wondering what your goals are? I consume 1200-1500 cal per day (sometimes a little less) and exercise regularly to lose weight. YET, if you are trying to maintain weight, you can consume more calories and exercise regularly. I'm assuming you may consume up to 2100 cal for weight maintenance...you don't necessarily have to consume those extra 700 cal, but you definitely can. I will give you this excellent website to go to read articles about all different health issues. I absolutely use this website for my own research. It is called everydayhealth.com It is an excellent site, and I believe it is very credible. I hope I answered your question :)...if not, I am sure you will find information from, perhaps, another person on this site, through the website above, or other references. :)
