    To be fair to the OP, I read on a website that my TDEE was 900 calories, so 1200 would be a gain. Now, I do know that website was ridiculous, I do not eat 900 calories, all I'm saying is there's some bad information out there and if the OP stumbled on that website first she might not have questioned it.

    (I wish I had the website to link. Will have another look now...)

    whoaaaaaaaaaa!

    Stop the BOAT!

    What's your stats???

    My TDEE is always like HUGE.... and I don't think i'm that big of a girl....

    BMR maybe? I would use a reliable calculator. I used http://thefitgirls.com/tdee-calculator.aspx a few times.... my BMR is 1,475 and TDEE is 2,028 currently, as I am not exercising hardly at all lately. I'm 5'5'' and 151 lbs.

    please read my previous posts in this forum & you'll get your answers.thanks.my ultimate goal is to be in fitness competitions..and to do that u need to gain a lot of muscle and eat VERY clean,so of course i'm gonna feel guilty over popcorn
    What do you mean "of course i'm gonna feel guilty"? Why would a person with a healthy relationship to food every feel GUILTY about what they ate? Guilt is a misplaced emotion when it comes to food. To me that is a sign of a problem.

    an unhealthy relationship with food....isnt' that how we all got here? If it were healthy, would we be obsessing over it enough to log everything and talk about it all day?

    I don't know about anyone else, but when it comes to food, I can out-sin popcorn like I'm the devil himself. :tongue:

    (Also, I think the ultimate food sin would be cannibalism. Yes?)

    food as sin.

    I feel like I need a picture of me wearing a bikini made of bacon to make it *really* naughty :)

    I go to the movies alot and eat a small bag without butter 400 calories.?? If it's something you love I don't think you should taboo it. You will only set yourself up for failure. I don't wanna live in a world without chocolate and movie theater popcorn.

    The ultimate answer is to sneak in your own healthy snack to the movies. Their prices are outrageous anyway.

    To put this in perspective. I once accidentally ate 2k calories over my daily goal. Yes, it's true. My skills at denial are so strong that I really thought to myself, "How bad could half a loaf of garlic cheese bread possibly be?"

    Even with that cheese bread, I would have had to have eaten another 1500 calories+my deficit+maintenance for the rest of the week,etc in order to eat enough calories to gain a lb of fat. Naturally, I held onto some water weight the next day.

    Yanno what, forget anyone who has anything negative to say on here tearing you down. Yeah, talking about the girl who posted twice who had nothing but nasty comments to make towards you. She doesn't know you, (neither do I, obv). It really was a simple question and I think people on here forget they are NOT certified nutritionists, and there is no need to get holier than thou when we are all just learning from each other. I get so sick of going on the forums and see some idiot(s) who gets all her information from a google search, or from reading all the drivel on the forums and thinking they are experts talking down to others. And judging someone based on their looks? Wow. Let's see her say that to you in person.

    Sorry, end rant!

    i noticed that. I kinda don't get why people are here then. Isn't that the point??? Still... um... you're here for a reason, and it's got something to do with your relationship with food.

    i also wanted to say to OP that I have experienced my body losing weight after I let myself go over on cals. I dont' know why, but it's happened.

    Sounds like you know what you are doing for the most part. Don't worry about a stumble and don't try to make up for it. Just move on. Tomorrow is a new day. Glad you now understand about the 3500 cal thing. That should relieve some stress.

    Now I need to go to the movies and get some buttered popcorn. I think I deserve a break to. Yumm
