So yesterday I went over my goal by about 400cal. I do nto have a lot to lose (4kg) and I am set at 0.25kg per week and 1600 net cal a day.

Today I do not feel like eating much. my planned meals and sport net me at about 1400kcal.

Is it ok to eat less today or shall I try to always eat the same and definitely eat my daily cal?

Thanks for advice

    If you stick to your plan for a few days it will probably all even itself out. It happens. That's why it's a long term goal.

    400 cals isn't a big day at all, but it's likely that you were still below or close to maintenance cals, so no need to do anything today

    Right thanks. But is it ok to "undereat" at 1400 cal as I am not hungry? Or shall I try eat my 1600 cal anyway?

    Thanks

    LULZ at being over by 400 a "big day" My average is plus or minus 200- but I have days when I'm literally DOUBLE my goal. I can EASILY eat 3000-3500 calories. No big thing. LOL- seriously- don't sweat it.

    Think of it as a GENERAL trend line- the days create the average- and the average trendline down creates the weight loss.

    so if you are a little over on one day it's not that serious- and if you are a little under on another day- it's not that serious.

    Always AIM for hitting your goal. But don't' go nuts if you are plus or minutes 500 in a day.

    Your body doesn't work on a day by day basis... look at weekly averages instead.

    You are better than me ;) When I have my binge periods I simply do not log anymore... last 8 weeks were like that and bam, 3 kg more... so starting over :) and trying to be careful again ;)
