    arditarose this might be up your alley?

    lol how did you know I'd stumble in here?

    Yes. I do this. I don't think about it as hard as you do. When I'm in maintenance (sometimes deficit too) I add 2500 calories to Saturday because that's what I like, and work the rest of the week around it. In a deficit I prefer to set my goal low and go over on the weekend to equal a weekly average I'm happy with.

    Ha I just had a feeling arditarose...

    I do that, pretty much. I keep a bigger deficit than I should most days so that it doesn't matter if I'm hungrier some days or want an extra treat and eat more.
