    I treat it like Price is Right ... I try to get as close as I can without going over :-). Generally I'm within a hundred or so. But if I'm lower than that and not hungry anymore, I tend to just take it as a bonus rather than driving myself nuts trying to eat exactly 40 more calories.

    My allowance is set at maintenance, even though I'm not done with loosing weight yet!!
    I still log everything I eat, and aim to be around 500 calories under every day, but it changes. I set it at maintenance so that I know that anything I eat under that means I'm still loosing. Sometimes I eat at maintenance level and sometimes I'm 700-800 calories under, might sound odd but I've found that it really works for me. If I'm hungrier, I eat more, and I'm always under, even if by 100 :)

    I try to keep it under by about 100, in case of error.
