Ok in 7 day stretch say if you go under your calories say 5 days - exercise everyday would you be able to splurge to a extent 2 days - meaning does it REALLY all balance out in a weeks time?

Example- I happen to always go way under net calories during the weekdays but find more time to eat when my husband is home on weekends and have a tendency to go over a 100 or so calories ..opinions?

PLEASE tell me I make sense on what I am asking - Reason I ask this is I always hear it all works out in the end .......

    Being within 100 calories of your suggested intake on either side is absolutely fine.

    I think it is absolutely fine. There are some days I am 200-400 UNDER but the next day I'll be really hungry and will be 200-400 OVER, so I figure it all works out in the end. :)

    That's a good question. I suppose as long as you're not continually putting yourself in starvation mode nor going 3500 calories over your limit every week then you're okay. I'd ask a nutritionist though.

    I say it all balances out at the end. I too eat more than I usally do on weekends than during weekdays and I have been still consistently losing weight

    Some weight loss programs actually build this feature into their program. It's a form of zigzagging is what I figure. I tend to eat lighter during the week and higher calories on the weekend. I think it balances out.

    2 - 3 = -1 I'm counting on the net result theory...
