How Often Can I pig out when I'm dieting?

How often can i eat a ton of food w/o having problems losing weight? I was wondering cuz i went over triple of what I'm supposed to eat in a day and Christmas is coming up. Any suggestions?

I would say about once per week. I had a bad day today (tonight, I made brownies and brought them to this party, and ate everything in sight), but tomorrow I'm making up for it with healthy options, 60 minutes of running total, and no sweets at all. I'm going to try to do this for about a week and then Christmas Eve and Day are my two pig-outs then.

You have to balance these days out. I went 3500+ calories today (and a lot of exercise) and I weighed in 0.4 less than yesterday. I'm sure tomorrow will be an extra 2 or so pounds, but if I pigged out tomorrow I would see an increase of about 5 pounds in a couple days. Basically you have to be smart and strategic, make sure you're drinking a lot of water so that the next day you can efficiently burn a lot of those calories off.

Pigging out is just soooooo good!
