Left over calories

So quite often I have left over calories from exercising or just not eating much, does that mean I can carry them over for a treat day at the weekend? I don't ever do this but yesterday (sunday) I over indulged massively and now feel a bit crap for it!

    Leave some on the table. It's easy to overestimate them. If you find you're losing too fast, then eat a few more.

    I had about 2000 calories left from the week and went 700 over so I'm covered lol just wasn't sure if it's something we should do but it was a 1 off and was my own fault for not eating all day so I was starving when I got home!

    Happens to me too, particularly on days where I do long bike rides. I can't eat it back in one day, so I add a bit for the next couple of days. It seems to work.
