Carrying over calories (plus or minus)

Hi,

I have read the posts about eating all or most of your excercise calories. I cannot really do that because i do intense excercise with my trianer on some days and lighter on other days. I don't want to eat all those extra foods on the intense days so I have been carrying over most but not all of the excess to the next day. I do the same if i go over but never carry over more than one day. I have been losing weight steadily except for one week (for which there is no explanation) but I was wondering what you all think.

    You can be sure you'll get differing opinions on that :smile:

    In my opinion, if you can balance out your calorie intake and exercise over the week you'll be fine. That's what Weight Watchers does, and even though I do have some issues with them, people are successful in losing weight on their program. Also, you've already seen that this works for you. :drinker:
