    Look at the weekly view, if your average stays where it needs to be then don't worry.

    For me, I could eat 1500 calories for 6 days and be able to lose even if one day is as high as 4300! I would maintain the same weekly deficit as if I ate my allowed 1900 each day. If you do the math and use your maintenence calories as a guide you'll probably feel better about going over once in a while.

    @shadow2soul why do you recommend a start day rather than the rolling 7 days?

    It's really 6 of one, half a dozen of the other, but for me it helps me 'budget' better, like if I splurge on a random Wednesday it's easier for me to figure out what I have left for the rest of the week rather than a rolling 7 days that's always changing, which was harder for me to plan around, so I go Monday-Sunday.

    Exactly, my splurge day and weigh in morning is on Saturday so my week goes Saturday to Friday. I just wish my Fitbit report would match but that's an entirely different issue LOL!
