in Health and Weight Loss
So, tomorrow is weigh in day and started a bet yesterday with a friend. I've been plateaued for three weeks now.

Today, just by chance, I've only eaten 720 calories (well, that's IF I eat an apple right now) and burned 700. It's 10:35 pm and was wondering, is 20 net calories OK for today, or should I order something so I can get more calories in?

Thanks!

    Not eating enough will sabotage your weight loss. Eat something. Maybe some pad thai.

    You know you should be eating far more than that. I think you know this is not a healthy choice, or good way to approach weight loss.

    I didn't think through it today and ended up skipping lunch and had a light dinner. Also lost track at the gym.

    I'll order something and be smarter. I've just been going over way too much lately and am having trouble finding a balance. It's either too much or too little.

    And does it matter that it's so late?

    No. Calories can't tell time.

    Eat. It doesn't matter that it is late, though be aware that you may weigh a little up in the morning, just due to there physically being food in your gut. It won't be a "gain" so don't let it freak you out.

    If you are hungry then eat up to your TDEE. If you are not hungry then don't eat. One day of being under calorie is meaningless.

    Pig out! or not. Does it really matter? is the scale moving up or down? All this COUNT CALORIES is about moving the scale and the tape, so bottom line is that if it's moving down, then who cares if today is a "fat" day or a "Anorexic" day. It's the rule of eating healthy on the whole. People take it way to seriously!
