Am I understanding this right???

I am trying to lose weight. My calorie goal is 1.5 lb per week which I understand to be a 750cal deficit per day.

If I wanted to eat at my "maintenance calories" for a day or two I could eat 750 calories more than what MFP currently says and theoretically not gain or lose (I know scale might show water weight)

Perfect timing! This one is for you, @geminigarcia199017

BTW, as stated above, yes.

Yes. Awesome how that works! You can take a break without doing any damage.
