You'll be fine.1

60? I would not worry about 60 calories. All these numbers, the intake, the calorie burns are all estimates. Go for a little walk if it bothers you too much.7

Your still in a calorie deficit then.1 -
If you're only 60 cals over your calorie goal, I would expect that MFP would still predict that you would lose weight if you ate like that everyday for five weeks?1

Yep, that too!0 -
Drink a glass of water and go outside and take a walk . 60 calories is easy to burn off1

60 calories is a short walk. Honestly, the inherent unreliability of calorie counting means that in reality, you're probably over or under by at least that on any given day in any event.1

As long as you're not going over your maintenance calories you're...fine. In fact, you're fine anyway. It's one day. I think I'd be disappointed if I went over on a burger without a nice beer to go along with it though.
60 calories is nothing. Like others are saying your probably still in a deficit.0 -
Going over mfp calories is not going over maintenance. Even going over maintenance for one day won't make much difference (unless you went over maintenance by 3500 calories.
60 cals is nothing.0 -
That doesn't sound like enough calories. Just my 2 cents.

Since you are presumably set at a deficit you may want to add some vegetables and fruits to balance out your meals and have a maintenance day as opposed to fretting over the exact size of your deficit.
You will also note by looking at the caloric counts that it is easier to fit a vanilla cone or a snack size McFlurry (but really for the price you're better off getting the cone unless you have a 2:1 coupon for the McFlurry) into your calories for the day without crowding out as much other filling and nutritious items that would complement your McD's.2 -

To gain weight you have to eat over your maintenance weight.
To find out your maintenance weight add 250 cal for each half pound you set your diary to lose on to the amount MFP has given you.
So if MFP has given you 1400 calories to eat and you are set to lose 1lb a week you can eat 1900 calories and not gain weight.
To gain weight you have to eat over that amount, 3500 calories = 1lb of fat gain.
Now you might get a small gain due to the water needed to process the higher sodium level in what you ate but it will be temporary.
I over ate on Saturday by 1800 calories, I'm not worried one bit. Just get back to eating at your calorie target.0 -
I eat over by 60 or more many days.
Balanced out with 60 or less other days.
As long as your weekly amount is round about where it should be you will lose (or maintain or gain or whatever your goal is set to )0 -
60 calories over is not worth worrying about. I have been over 200 a few days and can still loose. Try not to beat yourself up about a tiny amount0
