Saving Calories?

The last 2 days I have been under my goal by about 400 calories each day and I'm wondering if it's ok to use some of these calories today? Does dieting work like that?

    I save them up for a day or two if I know I'm going to the fair or dinner then use them and it's working so yes you should!

    Really?! No way you guys. That's like saying I'm going to eat 14000 calories today, but I won't eat the rest of the week. That's healthy right?

    That's a pretty extreme interpretation, don't you think? Have you ever heard of calorie cycling?

    Most people do it based on a weekly amount of calories anyway - I know I do. I try to eat my calories each day but if I don't then I know on another day (or the weekend when most cheat days are) it won't hurt your weekly numbers by having a little cushion there.

    It definitely won't hurt anything to do it on occasion for sure. Have a treat OP, you deserve it!! :)
