    It's interesting how Euros seem to say takeaway while Americans usually say "take out".

    Australians say 'takeaway' too!

    I have it set at 2 pounds a week. Today we had a family dinner and I went 500 over. Perhaps I could take off 50 a day for 5 days to make up for some?

    500 calories over is 1/7 of a pound or 2.3 ounces of weight gain. If it were me, I wouldn't worry about making it up.

    However -- I'd ask myself what was the deal with it being a "family dinner"; there should be no reason why you can't eat a meal with your family and not go over.

    You are so right :) We went out with extended family and I couldn't control myself is more likely the answer than me using that as an excuse.

    Thank you for keeping me in check. I need that!

    If it fits into your daily/weekly calorie goal, you can literally eat whatever you want.
