Can any one explain this idea to me?
I've heard people talking about it (eating under one day, over the next etc) What is it supposed to do for you?
Sorry if you all know about this & I'm way behind:embarassed:
But I'm jut wondering if it could help, or if you think it's a bad idea??
Thanks in advance for your responses :flowerforyou:

If you google "calorie cycling" you will find tons of information on the subject. You can even find a calculator that will tell you what number of calories to eat on the various days based upon your stats and goals. I stick to calorie cycling to maintain my weight, since I eat out a few times a week and on those days tend to splurge. It works great in my experience, and becomes habitual over time in a way. Here is a basic article on it: http://www.livestrong.com/article/129304-calorie-cycling-lose-weight/0
