    eating 500 over is nearly eating at maintenance if you are at 1 lb per week as your goal. So i don't consider it that much of a splurge. I would feel guilty if I went much higher than that.

    As for what I would eat? For me If there is a cheese and fruit platter and a good bottle of wine Its worth being over for the day. I am glad I don't go over in calories for eating steak because I would go over for that too. Oh and anything with burnt marshmallow....

    I'm going to be the wet blanket here.

    What's worth the splurge depends on how often you plan on splurging.

    Totally agree with you Sing! Eating cheese and wine daily is not worth being fat. It wouldn't be as enjoyable if I was eating it regularly anyways!

    For me, surf and turf followed by a big piece of baked cheesecake. Definitely work the thousands of calories.

    I always assumed Surf and Turf was strictly an American thing, at least the name. I learned something important.

    What does yours consist of @sheldonklein ? Ours is typically a rib eye type steak topped with whole prawns (shrimp) in a creamy garlic sauce.

    If Im being lazy and I want take out so I don't have to cook, or I start eating something that doesn't taste great at the time but keep going, I say it isn't worth it.

    When my FIL (Italian) makes his Sunday pasta supper, that is SO worth it. Not only for the family but the food is so amazing. We go once a month or so, and I never regret it. A good slice of cheesecake, I also never regret.

    It bugs me when I go over because of a generic pack of chips or one too many squares of dairy milk chocolate. That's when I feel annoyed with myself. I wouldn't class either of those worthy of a splurge!

    I would say for me hooter's chicken wings. It would be worth it to exercise 1 hour in the morning and evening for those wings.
