Anyone else have trouble staying in your calorie range on weekends?

    I definitely eat more on weekends, but I'm also way more active...so it all works out. I adjust my calorie needs to my activity and don't really eat in any one particular range or set calorie target.

    Always! I try not to worry about it too much and just make sure I eat well throughout the week.

    This is the first weekend I've gone over and definitely made up for previous weekends!!! Ugh! Back to the grind tomorrow.

    Yes. Weekends are often when we are with friends and family. I just stockpile calories through the week. It works out if you plan for it.

    Plan for it and then own it! :smiley:

    I just logged a large Coldstone Creamery coffee lovers without shame. Today was my first cheat day in a month, and I have been making some serious progress, so I figured, hey, going for it!

    I came in within my limit by the skin of my teeth, but even if I went over, I would have no regrets because it wasn't a mess up, it was a planned thing.
