Staying within my calories. :(

Does anyone else find one day its so easy to stay within the calories that MFP is telling you you should be eating more, and then the next day its like you blink and your over??
I always struggle during the weekend and can't seem to stay on track.............................

It's probably because during the week you're busier (at work)? While the weekend you're at home, parties, with family, going out to eat, etc. Maybe you should do the zig-zag method - eat less during the week, and more on weekends - and it'll balance out in the end.

Same here some days like yesterday, I was under no problem, but today is a hungry day! Maybe I'm catching up from yesterday - I tend to look at it over the week being up and down a bit's not a real issue.

I always make sure to try and plan for a dinner out or family gathering by having my favorite healthy foods readily available for breakfast and lunch during the weekends. This way, if I need to make up calories towards the end of the day, I am better able to balance the whole day! I always make sure that I have salad ready for multiple meals (I make a big one that is at least 3 meals), low-fat cheese sticks for a quick protein pick me up and yogurts/granola for breakfast. If I eat out, both of these serve as a meal at another part of the day just as well as breakfast and lunch!

Good luck!
