If you have a bad day once a week or whatever what do you go over? I go over my fat intake, that's about it. I still try and stay under calories protein and carbs, just wondering if it's ok to go over my fat intake once a week? I need to eat around 62g of fat and tonight I'll have about 70g of fat

    Same things I eat any other day. Usually just more of it.

    Going over your calories constantly will cause weight gain no matter what.

    Same here. My diet is actually pretty healthy...I cook most things, and when I go out I make fairly decent choices and generally have no fast food/junk food. I overheat on things like eggs lol

    I had a bad day last sunday...

    See a bad day for me is now defined as not getting enough food into me.

    I was full at 995 calories...ate enough to get me to 1195 ...yogurt and chocolate and felt like crap for 2 days afterwards...

    I will never do it again...what a horrid day(s)

    I didn't say I constantly do it, I said once a week, and I go over it by about 200 calories

    Also, I'm going to do 20 minutes of fast walking and 20 minutes of running/jogging up the stairs, would it be better to do this knowing that I'm going to have a big meal later?

    MFP puts you at a 500 deficit every day for 1 pound a week. So 200 calories over is a 300 calorie deficit . Even if you did that every day you'd loose, just a lot slower. I go slightly over like that once a week because it keeps me on track the other 6 days.

    No, it would be better to incorporate exercise in your life for the sake of getting healthy and have it be a regular thing. But yes, exercise is one way of giving yourself some extra calories to eat, but you need to be consistent about logging your food intake and exercise burns. Otherwise you run the risk of overeating by quite a lot because you've convinced yourself that your exercise routine burned a lot more calories than it actually did.

    Read this link and the links within it. I think it will help you immensely: http://www.myfitnesspal.com/topics/show/1080242-a-guide-to-get-you-started-on-your-path-to-sexypants

    pizza puts me over. It's the darned cheese (yum!). I'd prob be ok if I just ate a slice less on that day. But it doesnt happen all that often so no biggie in my opinion.

    (poker night snacks put me over too. I try to be good but its so hard with everyone munching about)

    Are you eating back your exercise calories?

    This, except my kcal intake was around 1300, because that was all I could manage, when I had the flu.
