It's perfectly reasonable to say you don't have anything else to share.
And also, sometimes people just want to share their frustration about not getting to do or eat what they want without consequence...that's not the same thing as wanting you to find them answers on how to change. It's hard as the listener sometimes to know the difference.
The most memorable response I received recently was when I shared some ideas on how to substitute other foods. She said "You look good...tell me what you do." When I shared some of the things I do, she said, "Ok, but cookies and doughnuts and chips taste better." Sigh...
And no, I haven't discovered the grocery aisle where doughnut flavored nutrient dense magical food is displayed..yet!
