Been over calories frequently

I've lost 85 of the 110 pounds I need to loose. I wake up at 6am for work and don't get home until 6pm and usually don't have energy to go to to the gym, and if I do it's late at night. I try to stay under my calories during the week, but the weekends I'm always a bit (400-700) calories over my goal. My current goal is 1550 and if I eat less than that I always feel tired. During the weekend when I eat a little more I always feel like I have more energy. Should I feel bad that I eat over on the weekends? I don't know what to do about this, and I don't feel good anymore that I'm eating 1550 calories or less.

    Are you still losing weight?

    If so, then continue on as you are. You shouldn't feel guilty about fueling yourself.

    If you are losing at your desired rate, then what you are doing is working for you :smile:
