    • 'Saving' calories for parties?

    edited January 7 in Health and Weight Loss
    Hello, I'm new to MFP, looking for any advice on how to handle NYE or parties in general. I've been 'saving' 200 calories per day (still eating a total of 1500 per day at least) the last 4 days so that I can drink a bit more like I'm accustomed to tonight. Planning to stay within those 800 'saved' calories, though. Has anyone tried this? Will it backfire?

      I'm really not into the idea of saving for a week, or whatever like a lot of people do. Your body is not a bank. It doesn't know or work the same way as your brain.

      Just let it go for NYE and enjoy yourself. Don't count. How unfun is that?

      When I'm being smart I do this. It does work.

      This absolutely works. I have a very active social life, and go out with friends pretty much every weekend.

      I eat at a lower calorie amount during the week, and a higher one during the weekend.

      It works wonderfully.
