    I had about the same left, now I have only 500 or so left.
    I had a dinner of 2 poached lemon and herb salmon fillets, beetroot, baby spinach, cottage cheese and a courgette, carrot and broccoli mix ( love my vegetables).

    From a calories standpoint, it shouldn't mess you up. I had a whole bunch of calories left over by dinner on Saturday, so I had a Five Guys little bacon cheeseburger w/mustard & mushrooms and 3/4 of a serving of their fries*. Still left me with enough for a glass of wine and a Skinny Cow ice cream bar. I lost 3 lbs for the week, so it didn't seem to have an impact! Go for it!


    *I ordered a regular fry, knowing its like 2 or 2.5 servings. The guy filled the regular size cup, put it in the bag and then added two more huge scoops of fries on top! I swear, its more than you'd get in a bag of frozen fries!

    Forget the BBQ, I want a cheeseburger and fries! ... Like the other folks said, if you logged right, and have a but load of cals to eat, then go for it. It will be detrimental if you mis logged and over eat and go over your goal... I mess up my logs a lot so I know how easy it is done... You can always eat up to your cal limit every day, and eat back your exercise cals to...

    I look at it this way, these amounts are averages, and sometimes are not exactly spot on. So I don't eat back all of my exercise cals just to be safe, but I always get more than 1300 per day regardless...

    I have the same problem sometimes. I save on cals during the day but when it comes down to dinner I just don't know what to have to use up the cals but that is healthy and not high in sugars.
    I think you should go for a good bowl of pasta with a tomatoey sauce and toasted pine nuts and a sprinkling of feta cheese!
