Having a 'maintenance' day once a week?

I just couldn't help myself and I kept on eating until I finished the rest of the bag of pita chips! I had already had 2 cookies and some popcorn, and when I logged it all, apparently I've eaten just a little over maintenance. Is eating at maintenance once a week a good way to boost metabolism, or help with weight loss or something?
Thanks, just wondering

a day at maintenance won't hurt! especially if you're eating at a deficit on other days
i actually find that eating well over maintenance a couple times a month always shows a loss on the scale!!0 -
