    You're still in deficit over the week, just less than normal.

    Aren't you always telling people that if they are cheating, they don't want it bad enough?

    As for eating 1000 over maintenance, you may have an increase on the scale tomorrow, depending on how much sodium you had. It shouldn't impact you in the long run, you probably won't lose much this week, because some of your deficit was wiped out, but not all of it. Log it and move on.
