    Of course you can make it up. Get a really tough workout in! Log it all, and watch what you eat for the rest of the day. You'll be fine. :-)

    You were probably just really hungry. If you're over eating on healthy food, I don't think you should beat yourself up over it. You're body probably needed it.

    I wouldn't call that a bad breakfast at all. Just eat a little lighter than normal for the rest of the day, and stop beating yourself up over it! =)

    No. Just count the calories and make up for it during the day. At the end of the day it all comes down to calories consumed - calories burned. That's the one fact of weight loss.

    Get exercising! It'll help you feel like you've done something towards fixing your "mistake"

    Not at all. With working out and watching what you eat for the rest of the day, you should still be ok. One meal won't make or break you. Good luck.

    You can totally make it up. And . . . at least it is low on carbs. Just call it brunch, have a couple snacks today and a light dinner. Your body may be telling you it needs more food. 8.5 pounds in two weeks is a lot. You want to be careful you aren't setting yourself up. When I deny myself, I completely cave later. Instead, I eat within my calories, exercise to earn more calories to eat, and don't feel the ravenous urges I have felt on other restrictive diets. Hang in there.

    You're doing great! Don't let this set you back. Remember that everything you ate was pure protein...an essential building block for muscle mass. True, you may have sacrificed your day in terms of calories, but you fed your body with vital nutrients.

    Now...get back on the wagon and lift some weights today!

    Oh you'll be fine. So you ate around 600 calories for breakfast. That's not a huge deal.

    Even assuming your daily goal is 1,200 calories and you didn't exercise at all today, you can still eat 300 calories for lunch and dinner. Best bet though would be to go outside and go for a walk for about 30 minutes or an hour. You'll drop 200-400 calories that way.

    Good luck!

    javamom is bang on with her advice. I've also noticed that if I don't get enough calories one day, I binge the next. Slow and steady!

    If what I read is correct, and I believe it is, calories in minus calories out is the key. You did eat a lot of protein, but I am pretty sure the basic idea behind weight loss is still based on expending more calories than you take in.

    At the weekends I normally have 1 whole egg and 2 egg whites, gives me more than just than just 1 egg but with less calories!
    Don't count the rest of the day off, just watch what you eat and if you go over then don't get disheartened.
    Well done on the weight loss too :0) x

    it's okay to go a little over every once in a while, it confuses your metabolism and gives it a little jolt. You won't gain back several pounds from one meal (especially when your picks were healthy you just overindulged a little) just try to get in a workout, and make good choices the rest of the day.

    Never beat yourself up over one meal, just learn what you might have been able to do differently (listen to your body pick up the cues) and move on. Nothing is lost!

    xoxo
