Reverse Dieting - Slip Up

edited February 16 in Goal: Maintaining Weight
Hey guys,

I'm doing a Reverse Diet and it went well for the first two weeks. I established my current metabolic capacity and am now slowly increasing my calories with minimal weight gain. I'm also doing 2 HIIT sessions and 5 days of training.

But, this Saturday I slipped up and ate well over my current caloric level.

Would anyone recommend I drop my calories for a day to compensate? Or would this just compromise the metabolic capacity gains I've achieved.

Sorry if this is a vain question. I just worry about gaining weight. It might be something I just need to be more patient with. I'm a girl, so the mental stress of this is sometimes difficult.

Thanks!!!

    I don't know anything about this system. But in general, just go with the next day. It's behind you. Go forward.

    I balance. The idea that our body runs on a 24 hour clock is ridiculous

    having a lower day after (or a few days) would be my advice.
