    Yes, but it's no accident.

    My breakroom serves muffins.

    The most decadent, moist, beautiful chocolate muffins ive ever seen.

    I ate a muffin for breakfast, thinking the whole muffin was 320 calories.

    Turns out there are two servings in the muffin. So I accidently downed 740 calories before breakfast, in one muffin.

    Oops.

    haha right on
    my calorie limit is set to ~1500 so it seems like it's taking up most of my food for the day, but my main goal is to improve my eating habits so as long as i stay under 2200 i'm not worried

    We regularly make 800-900 calories breakfasts/brunches on weekends, but it's a substitute for breakfast and lunch and is followed with a mid-afternoon snack and a reasonable dinner. It's nice to break up the routine a bit.

    I intentionally have large calorie dinners and after dinner snacks.

    Eat all the foods!

    I actually prelog everything BEFORE I eat. It makes it easier to adjust things.
    I'll give you an example: I'm making homemade nachos tonight. Since it will be higher in calories, breakfast and lunch have been altered to allow dinner calories.
    I get out all the ingredients and write down how many calories are in everything. Then I decide, based on the total calories of the dish, how big I'll make the portions. I do all this as I'm eating breakfast. Makes logging so much less complicated.

    Accidentally make the high calorie food? No. Do I eat it? Hell yeah!! Does it worry me? Hell no!! When I decide to eat a lot (or most) of my calories in the morning, I'm sure I'll be satisfied til dinnertime. :drinker:

    Yes, on occasion. It usually disturbs me quite a bit. I normally skip breakfast or have a very large coffee with milk because my calorie max is very low.

    I have. Not really an accident. Sometimes it actually fills me up enough until 1pm though so it puts me back on track, it's when it doesn't that it sucks.

    Recently. I forget what it was, but I wish I had looked it up before I ate it. Live and learn.

    I'm a little too focused at the moment to make this mistake. I don't eat anything unless I know the nutritional information almost exactly. Which can be very frustrating as I never substitute anything at restaurants and when I do eat out its only at places that have everything posted online, which stinks because I live in Panama City beach and we have amazing local restaurants! And if I cook it at home, I scale everything like a crazed person. The only thing I don't count is my added salt which I probably should. But other than that, every mustard packet, stevia packet, drop of teriyaki or oil is added and logged. It's a little frustrating because sometimes I fear I'll get tired of all this effort and just stop caring. Lol but the good news is if you log it and log it correctly, you can always burn it off!

    I didn't accidentally have eggs benedict with peameal bacon on the weekend, but yes, I now regret it.

    I'm a pre-logger too. I know how many calories I want to eat and tweak portion sizes until I meet my goal.

    I do, however, miss those huge 900+ calorie breakfasts! I've been at this (this time) since December and I think my highest calorie meal was about 700.

    Not accidently, but on purpose on occasion.

    I tend to eat a higher cal breakfast on my work days. I'm a nurse and per fitbit I burn almost 3,000 cals on those days and my allowed cal intake can get up pretty high so I eat or snack every few hours at work otherwise I get home and midnight and have 500 or 600 cals "left". I really don't wanna eat that big that late. So I've changed my habits to have a higher caloric breakfast.

    I load up at breakfast which is usually after a run. Bowl of oatmeal, Walnuts, chia seeds, fresh strawberries, fresh blueberries, almond milk topped off with a sliced banana. Lots of calories but healthy stuff. I eat fairly sparse the rest of the day but love a big breakfast.

    I try to eat 2700 calories per day in 3 meals, so 900 is spot on for me. But sometimes I'm not that hungry in one sitting so I snack on almonds between meals. It's tough, but someone has to do it.

    I had pork sausage/Kale quiche and a pork steak with whole wheat pasta for breakfast. 900 calories. Working out and eating a bowl of cheerios for lunch, then hitting about 400 calories for supper. I won't eat a thing except maybe a kale/apple/carrot smoothie after 7PM. Supper is normally 300-500 calories for me. I eat at least a bag of kale a week. 1800 calories a day max. Started on March 31 at 272#. Weighed 254 this morning.
