How many cal's do you leave at the end of the day?

I try to leave 250, but that is just a mind game I play. I am still heavy enough to have a goal of 2 lbs a week, but my calorie goal at that setting looks scary low to me (omg, I will starve!). So I set my goal at 1.5 lbs, and try to leave 250. I have found I actually do this most of the time pretty easily. But on that rare "hungry day", I eat them all, and still avoid looking at a red number. ☺️

I eat everything but about half of my exercise calories. Seems to be working so far.

I always try to bank some calories. Some days I am under by 400 calories. Some days I am under by 4 calories. It just depends on how hungry or hangry I am.

I try to get with in 50-100 calories of the goal.

Not to fussed though, all seems to even out.

I would recommend getting withing 5% of your daily macros wether less than or over.. remember your body burns calories even at rest so it won't hurt...to our body also burns calories during digestion so that would be great to have what is required
