How do not let nights out effect your diet?

Good resource at http://getdrunknotfat.com/.

But ultimately, I'd suggest just drinking what you most enjoy, but in smaller quantities. In other words, if you love beer, have a beer. Just don't have five beers. If your drink of choice is a martini, have a martini. Just don't have seven martinis. And so on and so forth.

It's okay if your macros are off a bit for the day, just don't go over your calories.

I tend to save up calories across the week for a night out ..cut a couple of hundred each day or don't eat back exercise for a few days and you easily have 1000 calories +extra at the weekend

I'm not a big drinker ..but a glass of cava is 99 calories so over a night I can have 3 for 300 calories and intersperse with diet coke / sparkling water

When I used to drink and diet I'd alternate alcoholic drinks I really liked with soft drinks like diet coke. Half the calories as half the calorific drinks. Still fun though!

I went out Friday night for a special occasion. Was able to keep under calories by planning ahead. The day after is the tough part. My body feels the need to fire down some Taco Bell and I have to fight those urges all day.

Planning ahead is the best thing for me, usually. I look up the menu for the restaurant and figure out what to order, then log it before even going out. Same for drinks. Then, if I'm over my calories for the day, that tells me what sort of workout I need to do before I go out.

Fast in the morning. Have a high protein, low carb/fat meal (think chicken and veg) before going out. Drink moderately with vodka and calorie free mixers. DON'T EAT WHEN DRUNK.

Ditto with the day after problem.
