    I always drink lots of water like at least 80 ounces the day after overeating. It seems to help me.

    400 cals wouldn't even put you over your maintenance I bet. Go for a walk, log it and forget it.

    400 calories...can you even fix it? Yes. That's nothing. Or just move on.

    I'm impressed you could eat at RR and go only 400 over. You could make this up by omitting one slice of bread gor the next 3-4 days. It's that easy but not really anything to worry about.

    Ok, so you ate at a restaurant? That's LIFE! :)
    Log it & continue as you were. No big deal.

    You had a great trashy meal out? Fantastic! Enjoy the happy greasy memories.

    And loosen up. As others have said, 400 over is not a big deal. If you are aiming at 1lb/week, then you have a 500/day deficit, so going over by 400 doesn't even get you to maintenance - so you were still losing weight, just more slowly. If you're going for 1/2lb/week, yes you went over maintenance, but not by much.

    Let it go. Weight loss is a long game. One day is nothing in the scheme of things. And I agree with others that making penances after the fact is not particularly healthy - at least, it isn't for me. Trying to "pay back" calories is the number 1 quickest way to make me give up logging altogether. Far better to draw a line under it and move on.

    There are alot of people that are terrorized about going to restaurants for this reason. It's unavoidable so next time have a plan. Look up their meals and calorie count ahead of time and pick something that will fit into your day. Eat half and take the rest home for the next day. Eat very lightly--veg soup, for instance--the rest of the day. Exercise alot more that day, or just splurge, enjoy, and start off anew the next day. These are pretty much the options. Pick the one you like best and go. There are people that need to eat out all the time and they have to work this out---it's not easy. Best. B)

    I'm in the log it and move on crowd. And another way to say that is you can't change the past so make the next right choice.
