Should I eat all my calories today?

MFPfriend

I got 7 hours of sleep last night (I woke up at 8) and was hanging out until 12. Around 12, I was so sleepy I could barely stay awake, so I was going to take a one hour nap from 12-1 pm. My alarm ended up not going off, and so I slept until 6 pm! :grumble: Now, I have 937 calories left for dinner.
But if I'm only awake for a few hours of the day, should I eat all those calories? If not, how many should I eat??
I've slept most of the day, and I'll probably go to bed around 11 tonight. So that puts me awake for only... 9 hours today, instead of 17 like normal.

I dont know if the is the correct answer for everyone but I wouldnt eat them all, for me I would eat dinner as normal and log my calories..I mean it's only one day so your not going to go into starvation mode or anything...

Well if you think about it, you would probably have to go out and get a terrible fast food meal to make up that many cals for one meal. Just eat something sensible if you are hungry, and if not, start fresh tomorrow!

Well, I was just going to eat dinner like normal, but then have some juice if I needed to make up the cals.

But, like the other poster said, I'll just eat like normal. I doubt I will go into starvation mode after one day.

No, I wouldn't eat them considering how little you were awake today. Um...I need a few calories, can I borrow them?

Haha, if only.
I might be borrowing my own calories tomorrow... we're having a big family dinner.
