OP think of it as a weekly tally, not daily. As long as you're within your calories for the WEEK, don't worry about it. It will balance out.
Thanks
I thought my bunny with a pancake on its' head and my popcorn joke was simple enough, and I get no thanks? *kicks rocks* Always trying to make things simple, aren't you BinkyBonk? How dare you!

Fruit and salad made me gain weight. McDonald's made me loose weight. My point being this doesn't make sense

OVEREATING fruit and salad made you gain weight.
eating below your maintenance (whether its mcdonalds or broccoli) results in weight loss-1 -

I'm not overeating fruit and salad.... unless the salad I'm buying is being pumped with calories... unless 2 satsumas and 10 grapes is overeating fruit...0 -
Just means I need less calories so maybe a 900 calorie diet will be better for me0

Okay, so what are you saying? That your body somehow reserve burns calories?
Can you summarize what your actual argument is?-1 -

I was just confused why I lost weight eating junk food after weeks of eating salad and fruit. But I must be overeating so I'm going to go on a 900 calorie diet instead so it doesn't matter now0 -

Since you have stated you don't weigh your food, reducing your calorie goal is premature.0 -
What salad were you eating?
Salads are not created equal. You throw in chunks of cheese, nuts, chicken, dressing and whatnot without measuring it will have more calories than a cheeseburger from McD.-1 -
OP, I think you need to take a step back and re-evaluate your weight loss goals because resorting to 900 cal/day is definitely not healthy, and you will not be able to sustain that long term. You shouldnt be starving yourself to lose weight. Losing weight can be uncomfortable but it shouldnt be dreadful and tedious. The time frame it takes to lose weight healthily is something you just have to deal with and be patient with. Hope this helps.0

So you had 'weeks of eating salad and fruit', then had a small hamburger and salad, and the next day you lost weight? The effects of the McD probably wouldn't seen until a couple of days at least, and even then it wouldn't make a huge difference as it was basically not a high cal meal. The weight loss is due to the reduction in cals from eating fruit and salad, not from one pretty small fast food outing.
CICO is the explanation, regardless of the origin of said calories.0 -

I'm overeating anyway apparently because the gem lettuce whole for 15 calories is 500 calories apparently and goodness knows what the 3 cherry tomatoes I eat daily amount to in calories a day0 -

Let's be honest. If you were really eating 50 calorie salads all day errrrday, then you would be losing weight.0
