My food diary is open but I ate 1226 calories today but 320 of those were from candy, namely hershey's kisses and wonka sweettart sweethearts. Am I okay?

    I am pretty sure you'll be just fine, so long as you don't do this on a regular basis. It's not so much that it will make you gain weight, it's that basically 1/3 of your diet today (probably more) was pure sugar. I just can't see that being too great in the long run, especially when you are already in a pretty strong deficit.

    Well of course not on a regular basis! This candy will be gone eventually haha Pure sugar was a quarter of my diet basically.

    The only real issue this should cause you is you might be hungry because those candy calories are empty calories meaning they don't fill your tank but they do cost you calories. Also if youve been dieting really well for awhile the sugar might make you sleep badly.
