How would you fix a deficit of 1500 cal?

what is the reason for not eating "sugary stuff" today?

Side note -
for whatever reason, this statement sticks out to me: "which burned up 498 calories(I am very precise with my speed and time)" I'm not saying to round your numbers... but understand that no matter how "precise" you are, how many calories you burn and eat are a rough estimate at best unless you are in a clinical setting 24x7. In other words, don't be one of those people that has 15 calories left over, so they eat 2 grams of peanut butter!

I dont ever eat back the calories that I burned. I always stay between 1100-1300 with my goal being 1390. Everything I burned I just see as extra towards my weight loss not towards my food.

^ Please ignore all that crap. If you don't eat back calories your deficit will be much too large. MFP's numbers already put you at a deficit, and not eating them back is just foolish. I recommend eating back at least 1/2 - 2/3 of what you burned...with the idea being the more you burn the more you should eat back.

This!

Is this a common occurrence for you? Because I probably wouldn't really worry about it if it's only one day. You have 1500 calories to eat lunch and dinner. Don't gorge yourself just because of the calories you burned, but think of it as an opportunity to eat something you maybe normally wouldn't because it's too high in calories. Add avocado to your lunch. Eat pasta for dinner. If you're still running a deficit, don't worry about it.

It's when a large deficit becomes a habit that it becomes a problem. One day isn't going to disturb your goals.

I don't eat back calories either.

so many mixed opinions on this! but if you do go for eating back (some or all of) those calories, and you aren't sure how because you aren't that hungry and it seems like a lot, try things like nuts or avocado. Calories dense, good fats, and yummmmyyyyy.

Agree with this.

Drink 2 cans of Four Loko = issue solved. :drinker:

Not all of us are on here to lose weight. I'm in the same boat. My daily goal is 2530 cal NET a day. I eat a ton, but eating clean is MUCH harder to fill all of those calorie requirements. Some days I have to eat 3500 calories to get to where I want to be. Often I find I have to eat something like 1800 calories for dinner. Any suggestions that people have for CLEAN calories would be greatly appreciated. I'm already eating:
Almonds
Quinoa
Pinto Beans
Chicken
Salmon
Greek Yogurt
Organic Granola
Shrimp
Kale
Spinach
Asparagus
Onions
Garlic
Egg Whites

Thank you in advance

That's completely up to you of course, and there are a lot of people on here that do the same. However, it's not the way that Myfitnesspal is designed to work, so it's probably not the best advice for someone who is new to the site. The calories burned through exercise aren't supposed to be "extra" for extra weight loss. MFP gives you a lower calorie goal than you would get from elsewhere to start with on the assumption that you will log exercise and eat back those calories. Not eating them back means you're increasing your calorie deficit to one that is larger than is recommended by this site. Like I say, that's your choice.

Anyway, OP - I'm not exactly sure what you mean by "I don't wish to overdo my nutritient facts", but assuming you don't have any medical issues, don't be afraid to consume more protein and healthy fats to reach your goal. If you're not very hungry, you can stick to calorie-dense but nutritious foods like avocados, nuts, seeds, nut butters etc. If you don't have issues with dairy, then milk and cheese can help too.

Save them for the weekend x

Beer, Pizza, Hot wings with Ranch dressing...1500 calories gone!

3 suggestions - Avocado, cook with olive oil (I marinate my asparagus in OO and S&P) and for god's sake, eat the whole egg, not just the whites :-)

Exactly, you can fill those calories with this foods, just will leave shrimp last because of cholesterol, but if you don;t eat it often, it's no big deal.

12 almonds have like 80 calories for example.
