    That makes sense. 2800-2900 is near my bulking calories and you have a good deal more lean mass than me.. At those numbers I definitely had a lot more freedom in choices.

    Whatever you do, dont eat a poptart. Poptarts suck.

    It really depends what I'm in the mood for, but I rarely have that many calories left because I plan in advance to distribute them evenly throughout the day. Usually I'll have the dessert I planned on, but a bigger portion, if I need more calories.

    Rouge Chocolate Stout and New Orleans Style Cream Cheese ice cream beer float.

    Pure Win.

    There's a brewery in Colorado Springs that serves cinnamon ice cream (the spice, not the candy) in their Oatmeal Stout.

    It's Heaven in a beer mug. Literally Heaven.

    My extra calories are usually devoted to homebrew.

    Trail mix - I love my trail mix. But generally it takes all or most of my calories to get my macros and micros in...

    Depends on my appetite or carvings. If I have extra and I am not hungry I will save it for another day when I end up going over like today. Not concerned because I had 127 calories to play with from Sunday. Still a little over but not nearly as much as I would have been. All depends on what you want to do.

    I'm a bit confused... If your goal is 2,800-2,900 calories per day, your macros should reflect that amount of calories. As you've said, your macros only come up to 2,150. Assuming your goal is to actually eat 2,800-2,900 calories per day, I'd suggest the following link to help you determine how to increase your macros:

    I catch glimpses of these mystic "excess calories", but I do not chase them down. I leave mine and don't even bother keeping them in mind later on in the week. If anything, I aim to consumer fewer calories throughout my day because if I don't aim lower, I will soar above my goal. Also, I am bad about saying no to anything with sugar, so by lunchtime, I have usually already shattered any idea of limited sugar . . . I like cottage cheese, though!

    I have a little over 2000 calories left over for today. Most of those are exercise calories. If I'm starving I eat something... but most of the time I just let them die.

    I worked through the math earlier. The link you provided doesn't give a calorie or gram range for carbs, leaving it as "fill in the remaining calories..."

    It's the "remaining calories we're talking about here.
