    Just go back to your normal diet. It should be fine, but working off those 100 calories would be beneficial too.

    going over by 100 isn't a big deal because you still have a 300-400 calorie deficit anyway. so don't worry

    Hi,

    I take each day as it comes. If i go over one day i go over, i dont think about it the next day, as at the end of the day for me its my new life style & i dont expect to beat myself up for going over on one day. It all evens itself up at the end of the day anyway. Everyones different though :)

    you'll have a deficit as mfp works out your daily calorie goal with a 500cals per day deficit already. (500 cals x 7 days is a 1lb loss)

    Yes, when MFP figures your BMR, that number of calories is what it takes just to keep you alive. For me it's 2068 per day. To lose 2 pounds a week it tells me to eat 1790 calories. If I eat 2000 calories per day, I am over my goal by 210 calories but still under what I need to survive by 68 so in theory, I'll still lose weight albeit very slowly.
