Do you eat the rest of your calories at the end of the week?

    I dont consider there to be "rollover" calories - its like trying to sleep in late to catch up on sleep you've missed all week. Gone is gone, there is no "recovery" your body adjusted to what it had and it moved on, just like you should. BUT with that said, there is no harm in splurging for a day and eating at "maintenance" levels just to take a break if you wanted to.

    I sure wouldn't ever eat 4000 calories in a day, unless it was cheese fondue and an amazing wine - but that happens once in a while.

    Usually just before a final weighin for a weight loss competition I am participating in
    :grumble:

    ETA: If you find you had a huge deficit for a week, try making a point to be more consistent with eating your daily calories. It helps prevent potential plateaus and makes you feel less hungry overall (in my experience anyway.) Good luck!

    I can honestly say that this has never before occurred to me.

    I don't think that I'd do it, except on rare occasions. For me it would be too great an opportunity to overeat.
