How to make up for binge week

pinktiger8

My maintenance is at 1200. Last week I overate 4 days of the week, I had 1800, 1500, 2000, and 2400, so I call it a binge week. After the 2000 calorie binge on Saturday, I woke up lean looking on Sunday. I think my weight was 105. I felt so great I ate even more. After Sunday's 2400, I was 107 lbs on Monday morning and bloated as heck. I ate 700 calories on Monday and today, I woke up 105 lbs and "medium" lean looking today. should I just forget about the 2400 calories surplus I had last week since I'm back at my regular weight?

Yep. It's a new week. Start fresh and keep moving along!

Yup, you probably did some good by eating more.

How long have you been dieting, and how many calories are you eating daily?

I normally eat at maintenance now, but I'll have a week or 2 a year of 300-500 over maintenance, a "break" from the normal diet, and it doesn't affect my weight at all. Yeah I see the couple pounds of bloat but it goes away in a day or 2.
