    It's not going to wreck anything. Treat it like a cheat day and go back to your normal eating

    The type of food and time you ate it don't tell me anything. How far over your goal were you and what is your normal deficit? It takes 3500 calories over your maintenance to gain a pound, so unless you go over frequently, you don't have anything to worry about.

    Takeout Chinese food does tend to have a lot of sodium, so you may see a temporary gain from water retention.

    And a lot of grease. But I agree with the above one cheat day once in a while doesn't mean you fell off the boat, you're just rocking it a little for fun :laugh:
