So i was on lunch today and i thought i was going to have a salad or something healthy but i ddint want to drive to far so I went to some little restaurant around my job and I ate a whole 6 inch beef with cheese :sad: ohoh so that's like 6 or 7 hundred calories in one meal, So does that mean I have to work out harder today and i probably not eat much the rest of the day?

    Just stay within your calorie goals. 700 calories isn't enough for the day, so you can still eat something. But I'd make it a healthy something.

    whatever you do, don't avoid the calories on the other days. Exercise a little more if you want but don't avoid calories. Also you can still lose weight if you eat 700 calories over in a week. Just make sure you stay on track for the rest of the week.

    It's not that big of a deal if you go over your caloric intake for one day. Now it will be a different story if you are consistently over your caloric goal.

    Shake it off and try to eat healthy the rest of the day. Everyone has off days and as long as you don't make a habit of it, you'll be okay. One of the reasons I don't eat too much anymore is that I don't like that over-full feeling I used to get. Hang in there! :)

    Just relax and try to eat a light dinner next time it happens. Start fresh tomorrow and get some exercise to make yourself feel better. :smile:

    You didn't do anything wrong. I have 600 calorie meals all the time. Log it in your food diary and move on.

    The carbs, fat, or calories you ingested in one meal is not going to hurt you in anyway, shape, or form. Eat healthy the rest of the day even if it means you go over for today. Then, get back to it tomorrow. A 600-700 calories meal is NOT that huge of a deal! Heck, I have a meal like that at least once a week! Not slowing me down any!

    Honestly forget about it. It's done and you can't change it. 600/700 calories is not a lot even if you're eating he minimum of 1200. I would hazard a guess that you're regurly eating under calories anyways so going over won't kill you.
