The question is was it a good over or a bad over....the 100 quick calories is spinach leaf and veggies. Didn't feel like logging each one. Should I though? lol....

Anyways just checking other opinions.

check out my diary

    Spinach and other veggies? Veggies aren't fattening (unless you put gobs of sauce and such on them).

    It's 100 calories. I doubt it will impact your weight loss/maintenance.

    Going 100 calories over is not going to make or break this process for you. Definitely not a big deal. Just log it and move on!

    if your on a 500 calorie deficit, going over by 100 calories will put you at a 400 calorie deficit
    if your on a 750 calorie deficit, going over by 100 calories will put you at a 650 calorie deficit
    if your on a 1000 calorie deficit, going over by 100 calories will put you at a 900 calorie deficit

    to gain fat you'd need to be over maintenance calories:

    if your on a 500 calorie deficit, going over by 600 calories will put you at 100 calories over maintenance
    if your on a 750 calorie deficit, going over by 850 calories will put you at 100 calories over maintenance
    if your on a 1000 calorie deficit, going over by 1100 calories will put you at 100 calories over maintenance

    At this rate it would take approximately 5 weeks of eating 100 calories over maintenance every day to gain a pound of fat (if I did the math correctly)

    _____________________________

    Long story short, going over by 100 calories isn't going to harm you in the long run.

    I went over maintenance a few days ago and showed a 2lb loss on the scale the next day. As long as it's not an everyday thing you should be fine.

    So much wrong. Dietary fat and body fat are not the same thing. It is absolutely possible to gain weight on "non-fattening" foods and to lose weight on "fattening" foods. That being said, don't stress over 100 calories. Your deficit is larger than that, so you are still below TDEE, just a little less so.

    This. I eat spinach 5 times a week minimum. 100 calories of spinach is a LOT
