What to eat ?

I am not hungry today, but have had 431 calories, 6 carbs and 66 grams of protein.  

Sometimes, when I am low on calories and ok on protein, I'll eat a protein bar.   But, that does not sound good, either. 

I do NO"T want to fall into eating sweets, but if I eat another 2 oz or protein, my calories will still be substantially below 600 for today.

Any ideas?

Have you had dinner? If not, have something substantial (maybe more calories than you would generally eat) for dinner. There is ABSOLUTELY NOTHING WRONG with going WAY over your minimum protein!! Or - you could have some yummy veggies with a good fat and maybe some parmesan cheese...

I'm assuming your looking for dinner??----What about something like
3 turkey meatballs heated with 3T of salsa and about 2 T of parmesan cheese
Should be about 228 cals., 18 protein and 10 carbs (assuming you eat all the salsa and cheese).

I just looked at a meal history in my records to get some ideas.You can have some berries later in the evening if you still have calories and carbs available.

If not dinner, I would do a protein shake with fruit.

Just an idea.

I agree about going over on protein!   Usually I am in the 80's. 
Veggies sound good!   So does meatballs and I have some of both.    Just usually bypass them so did not even think of them.   I have some field peas in the fridge and meatballs in the freezer.   Both will add some calories and some protein - better than just turkey or chicken.
THANKS for the ideas!
