Going over calories

whisperfitandhappy

Hey everyone, so I went over my calories today by about 500-700. I'm not going to beat myself up, I'm only human. But what should I do tomorrow? eat less? or just eat normally?

I usually eat around 1800-1900 a day, it's the calories I need to maintain btw.

Just fresh and you'll be fine Or if you really want put some extra oomph in your next work out, or shave 100-150 calories off the next couple days.

I'd just eat normally tomorrow. One day isn't going to kill you (as long as it's not followed by another and another). If you eat too little over the next few days, you'll just be too hungry and that will lead to more over-eating. I'd chalk it up to a bad day and move on.

i watched a speech on motivation and research suggest the guilt will cause you to go further down the wrong path. tell your self an affirmation. for example the study said to say to your self, or write it down as if you were talking to another person

" i know you are feeling guilty about indulging today"
" don't worry everyone does it sometimes"
" don't be to hard on yourself "

the experiment showed that woman who indulged and herd this statement ate half as much candy in the 2nd part of the experiment of which they did not know was related to the other study, days later. it was a very interesting seminar.

Just eat like you normally would but maybe throw in some cardio. It will make you feel better about going over today

I overate purposefully on Saturday by around 600-700 calories (family dinner at Longhorn) & just did quick calories for around 100 calories for seven days to even the calories out.
