Just write it off as another day of learning. No big deal. Go on with your normal routine and learn about how that day could dramatically change your life if that was your normal.

Just call it a fun day, if it was indeed fun. No need to be perfect all the time.

agree with all the above!! You still need to enjoy life! Should that be done everyday? No, but don't knock yourself down over it!

Write it off. My big question though is this... you are a male, WHY are your calories set at 1270? That is really, really low for a male. I'm female with about 40 more lbs to lose and am consuming just under 1500 (based on TDEE-20%). I just did a quick TDEE-20% and if you were 6' tall, you should be eating about 2200 to lose weight. Yes, you'll lose more weight at 1270 calories, but you'll also be losing A LOT of muscle mass (the stuff you want to KEEP!) Eating that little isn't going to help you "get in shape." It's going to seriously mess with your metabolism. *just sayin*

ALL OF THIS. I'm a 41 year old female, average size, with anywhere from 24-40lbs to lose to put me at a healthy weight...I eat 1600/day, which is kind of low for me. You need to eat more, dude.

Don't sweat the party. You don't need to try to make up for it somehow. Your body is probably very happy to get some calories, anyway.

I have 1270 net calories as a daily goal because that's what MFP calculated based upon my input of a desire to lose 2lbs per week. It calculated my BMR at 2700 calories per day minus a 1000 calorie deficit so a 1270 net calorie per day goal.

MFP defaults suck. You should to modify them to fit your health needs. Also, putting in 2 pounds per week goal is unrealistic. If you set your goal to 1 pound per week it will be much more reasonable, and if you have a lot to lose you will still hit two pounds per week! There isn't a man on this planet that should be eating that little. Nor a woman for that matter.

I was plateauing for the last two months and I had to INCREASE my calories, but lower my carbs, to break it. My goal even before exercise is 1600.

Edit: with only 37 pounds to go it is definitely NOT realistic nor healthy to have your goal set to 2 pounds per week!!!! Please eat! It's not a race.

MFP is notoriously off when it comes to determining calorie needs and macros. I highly suggest going to the scooby calculator and determine your goals there. It is absolutely NOT HEALTHY for a male to be eating 1270 calories a day. Here's the calculator:

To lose weight, it's recommended you do TDEE-20%

This.

Dude, eat more. Eat a hell of a lot more. I'd drop weight at a calorie less than 2000 and I'm 123lbs (solid number, that there). There's no "race" to lose "weight"; don't sacrifice health for an arbitrary number on the scale. Just eat whole foods, walk a bit, lift heavy every now and then and enjoy life.

I wouldn't recommend anything less than 1500kcal for a post-menopausal woman, let alone a grown man.

Just call it a fun day, if it was indeed fun. No need to be perfect all the time.

Agree

I did the same thing on Saturday night. I weigh myself every morning, so was shocked on Sunday morning that the scale showed I had gained 5 pounds. I ate normally on Sunday and then Monday took it very easy.......green juice in the morning and for lunch followed by grilled chicken and broccoli for lunch. I am now right back where I was on Saturday afternoon.
