Calorie allowance

AndyGriffiths1

Just wondering if any of you blow your calorie allowance once in a while, reason for asking is i will be going out to the pub later and will probably double my daily target, but I will be back on track tomorrow

I do, but I keep it limited. We had a big church function on Sunday, so I didn't even bother logging the food I ate. The important thing is to keep in-line over the long term. A splurge may slow your weight loss over the short term, but you can make up for it. Just because our brains are breaking things down into calories consumed and expended over a 24 hour period doesn't mean our bodily function actually cares about "daily" levels.

I think I would try to avoid doubling my caloric intake for the day - unless I worked out first and burned some of those calories. But, even so, just get back on track ASAP.

Maybe you can drink lower calorie things while you are out?

Absolutely.
