Hi!
I'm new MFP and tracking my calories and need a bit of guidance.
How do you track a write-off day?
During the week, I'm very diligent about watching what I eat and keep it all tallied, but as the weekend nears I know I'm going to go out and way overindulge on alcohol. I try to stick to healthier options like vodka/water or red wine and avoid tonic/soda but I still know that I've had WAY more calories than I should have had. And no.....cutting back on the booze isn't really the option I'm looking for
So how do track those bad days? And should I be eating less during the week to make up for the calorie bomb that happens once every 7 days?
Thanks!!

You can either quick calorie an estimate of what you had or add it all. I like to still add the individual items so I know how much I went ouer and whether there is one or two things I could reduced so the blow out was so dramatic. Eg if i had one less slice of cheese toast that the 2.5 I ate I could have saved 180 calories. I don't compensate on other days I just keep going as per usual0

track it as you consume it.... maybe you can workout eatra the before and day of partying to balance it out.0

I'll try to be as honest as I can... and I guess it will help me remember when 1 too many is actually too much!!!0
