OK, so I am having a Splurge day today. I hate the phrase "cheat day" as I believe healthy eating is a lifestyle, and if you occasionally splurge, hey that's life, pick up your healthy eating habits the next day.

So today this is what I have consumed thus far (I am old school and pen and paper my cals) so I don't use the online MFP FD. I'm on maintenance, so I usually consume between 1500-1600 calories a day on average.

Breakfast:
Oatmeal with 1/2 Banana, 1/2C Almond Milk, and 1/2 Tsp Chia - 180 Calories
Coffee w/ SF Torani Syrup and 1/2 C Skim - 45 Calories

Lunch:
15 Grapes - 50 Calories
Qdoba Mango Pork Salad (customized w/out dressing) 215 Calories
Tutti Frutti Frozen Yogurt (estimating between 500-600 calories) I sampled a bit of everything and had fruit and brownie toppings

Snack:
Leftover 1/2 small DQ Hawaiin Blizzard from last week - 220 Calories
Luna PB Crunch Bar - 180 Calories

Dinner:
HA TBD
Could have leftover veggie pizza from last night that'd be around 300 calories!

What is the most calories you've consumed on a spurge day?

    That is a poor splurge! Your still within limits!

    A good splurge would be:

    Breakfast: full pizza 1200 calories
    Brunch: Big Mac Meal 900 calories
    Lunch: Stir Fry 800 calories
    Tea: Chicken Tikka Massala with beers 2000cals
    Supper: applie crumble custard and cream 700cals

    About 3000 cals for me over the day with both food and alcohol, happens maybe once a fortnight. My maintenance is about 1800. Booze is a serious calorie killer!!
