That was 1000 calories total including the string cheese and now I’m not very hungry.
Does this happen to anyone else where you don’t eat much during the day and then have too many calories left later in the afternoon? What do you do with them? I usually get fast food. I don’t feel like eating a bunch of little things. Is there something more healthier? I have lost and kept weight off but I am pretty much clueless when it comes to nutrition.

I have my same old answer you are probably tired of hearing - logging helps. I can see how much protein/carbs/fat I have consumed as well as a few other things if I choose to see them like fiber, sugar, salt and maybe some vitamins (I know it tells me when I log something that I have enough vitamin C). I try to always make sure there is fruit (no problem for me; I love fruit and always keep some around at home) and vegetables (same, but requires some thought/prep) in my diet. It would also help you with getting up to a healthy level - you should always average more than 1200 a day for good health.
If I have any ground to make up, I usually treat myself to a sweet snack or two. If you want to lean toward healthy, a handful of raisins and nuts will go over 100 calories and I can eat a few handfuls. I consider few foods to be truly unhealthy; there are unhealthy mixes that have too much of one thing or another (like too much fat or salt during one day) but very few single foods.
