"Just get back on the wagon!"
A quick question. Say perhaps someone maintaining has a TDEE of 2000. Then they have a cheat day and overeat by 3500. They panic and ask for help here and everyone tells them, don't worry! Just get back on the wagon tomorrow! Or, just log it and move on! What exactly does that "getting back on the wagon" mean? Does it mean…

Instead of counting calories, exercise/high protein?
Just curious, what if instead of counting calories in maintenance, if you just ate reasonably healthy, but made sure to eat high protein and exercised (cardio/weights) consistently, would anything you eat above your caloric goal simply add muscle instead of fat?

Changing diary settings
So, when I hit my goal, and switch my tracking/diary settings to "maintain" -- is it going to be retroactive? As in, will all my PAST diary days have those new calorie/fat/sugar goal numbers on them, and hence look really wrong and askew....or will the change only take effect on the day I do it and forward? I'm afraid to…

A word about maintining
Say what you will... Our bodies are not perfect machines. We are, after all, humans and not robots. So if you are beating yourself up over a pound or two maybe it's time to stop it. In February I started to eat better and exercise so that I could lose 20 lbs. From 140 to 120. I achieved this in May. Since then my weight…
