Lets say I've had a really low calorie day and have only eaten about 1200 calories. Would it be okay to the go eat a chocolate bar of 400 calories at the end of the day because I am allowed 1600 calories per day?
Obviously I know it will throw my allowed sugar way off but Im still within my calories...

Been wondering about this.

    ROFL!!!!!!!!!!!!! TOOOOOOO funny!!!

    I like to eat my 'leftover' calories. Sometimes I have junk, sometimes I have a ton of healthy stuff. Depends on my mood!

    technically you can, but 400 calories of chocolate bar isn't good nutrition. I helps me to think of my body as a fireplace and the difference of putting a good hard-wood log on the fire vrs a pile of paper. A sugary meal is like a pile of paper - up in smoke!

    Honestly, instead of eating chocolate....you are better off eating something that will keep you full. I don't think it will necessarily hurt you. However, later on when you get really hungry and maxed out your calories with chocolate...you may end up going over your caloric needs.

    Just my opinion.

    Sometimes, I don't have enough calories in the day to have "left over" calories...so I'll steal some from my friends list when they're aren't looking.

    You can do whatever you want with them I wouldn't use a roll over plan though. :tongue: I like to just pretend they dont exist and just pretend I used them up. Sometimes I do have to get my chocolate fix tho:bigsmile:

    Of course! That's the best part about tracking calories. Left over calories = guilt free whatever you want to eat.

    Beer. The answer is always beer. What a silly question.

    If you don't drink, them dress them up in little costumes and put on a play for the neighborhood children. Teach them how to ea properly. Joy will be had by all!




















    But seriously, beer. Drink the beer.
