Saving cals for weekend drink
Replies

First, I read the title of this thread as "saving cats", so I guess I have seen too much animal rescue stuff on FB this morning. lol.
But, I drink vodka and diet coke, and only have a few, and not every weekend, so I don't worry too much about saving calories for it.0 -

Nope in my personal opinion alcohol is horrible for you. It's responsible for so many deaths, yet the entire world is okay with it because everyone sells it to them.0 -
I assume that you are in maintenance, since this is the Maintenance Forum. In that case, I see no reason for working in a few drinks into your week. Lots of us do. I enjoy my glass of wine with dinner many nights a week. But those calories add up, so I keep a close eye on my CICO.
It is true that there is no good reason to drink alcohol, so kudos to those who choose not to do so. Wine, however, is one of my little pleasures that I won't drop. We all have our vices. (Just don't over do it. Sorry, I'm a mom...)0 -
I get plenty of protein and fat for my body to function, enough carbs to give me energy. I lift 2-3 times a week, have roller derby practice 5-8 hrs a week plus games, and go rock climbing twice a week. You better believe I am going to have my wine on the weekend if I want :P Sure food is fuel, but it is also enjoyable. There is no way I am going to go the rest of my life denying myself things that I enjoy, just because they aren't 100% nutritious. Same for cake on my birthday, popcorn at the movies, and potato chips when required.

I save calories for a few drinks a week. Nothing wrong with it as long as you are getting enough nutritious food in your diet. I usually space them out throughout the week, though, rather than just the weekend.0

People on here typically call it "banking" calories. I aim not for a set amount of calories per day, but instead a set amount of calories per week. Every day, I shave off 40 cal here, 120 cal there, so that when Saturday hits I can drink those 5 diet coke and vodkas. Works perfectly well for me.0

How do people log it, when they bank calories?0
