Can you use your exercise calories tomorrow?

I usually like to keep myself on a daily pattern so I am not too irregular in my diet. I know you said this is a one time occurrence, but I feel better if I count my workout and food for the day that I ate it. That way the next day I won't tell myself, "I didn't eat these 300 calories, but I should be fine to eat that today..." I would personally get myself in big trouble by thinking in that mindset.0

I'm going tailgating a week from saturday.
Would fasting on Thursday and Friday allow me to eat 4 brats? :happy:
Personally, I like to beat daily goals... I feel bad when I go over, even if I bank a few the day before. However, the body is a complex machine and looking at 'banking' calories is pretty simplistic.
I like the posts regarding going two days back, but I'd be cautious about incremental justification. Maybe one day would be better...0 -
Week to week average works out better for me than day to day, and so far it's worked fine.0

I do this all the time! I work in a weekly 'block' and allocate my calories to make sure I don't go (well most of the time) over my calories. This week I spent four hours working off a fabulous Saturday night of oysters, cheese and red wine I don't regret for a second. I feel in control of what I eat, it allows me to go out for nice meals ocassionally, special events, have a glass of wine on a Friday and most importantly it keeps me on track and losing weight. Whatever works for you.0

Cannot agree more.
Ok we are all on a weight loss goal but we should still have a life. I to work on a weekly goal, work really hard for 5 days and enjoy 2 days. As long as the weight comes off I am happy.0
