    I'm somehow way ahead of myself. I had a Cliff bar with my coffee, worked out and had a fairly low cal lunch that turned out oddly filling (potatoes, baked beans, chard and a poached egg). So with my exercise cals I still have more than 1300 left.

    I have to wait 3 more hours before I can eat all the food.

    Only because today was a lazy day and I didn't have to work. Not much over though, since we don't do anything for Christmas Eve.

    Despite starting the day with a bear claw and "taste-testing" two cupcakes while baking today for Christmas, it looks likely I'll end up below my goal for the day -- I've just been too darn busy to eat much else. I threw a frozen grilled chicken breast fillet in the microwave and topped it with some crushed tomatoes for a 110-calorie lunch. Thinking about having some flatbread with more of the crushed tomatoes and little parmesan for dinner. Maybe some cottage cheese.

    I went 501 under. It has been a work day for me, and I have one more service. I am an Episcopal priest.

    Haven't had much to eat today... every time I eat anything, I get digestive distress. :( Sipping on chicken broth now.

    I will definitely try tomorrow, though.

    I'm about 615 over, but over the week I made sure to eat as well as I could so it actually evens out. Still feel guilty and gross though.

    I went over, which is rare for me. I now feel like a moose. :p Tomorrow, back to normal eating.

    I had fewer calories than I expected. Still over but only by a few hundreds instead of the 3000 extra I had planned. I forgot that I spend the whole day without food and only eat the Christmas Eve meal. Well, I have more leeway for leftovers today which is nice. Plus more chocolate. More chocolate is always a good thing.

    I doubt it. I ate half a pack of biscuits, half a block of chocolates, some chicken, some ham and a salad lunch. I would usually eat 3x that amount at least (on Christmas anyway...). Had a rough day.

    Had I counted I probably would have been over by about double my maintenance... :tongue:

    I'm trying to bulk at 1 lbs./week, but have only managed 0.5, at 3100 kcal/day. I haven't been able to find the calorie level I need to hit my goal, let alone exceed it. Every time I jack up my intake, I end up so full of energy that my activity ends up following suit. Bah.

    What I ate yesterday-

    -'skinny' bread toasted with light cheese spread (started out low calorie)
    -cherry turnover (annnd here's where we get started lol!)
    -tortilla chips and a beef stick, with another triangle of light cheese spread

    -snack mix (family tradition)
    -3 pieces of Raffaello Coconut candies
    -slice of apple breakfast bread with butter
    -more snack mix
    -cheese, crackers and salami
    -more snack mix :D
    -chocolate covered cranberries
    -several apple pastry bites (70 calories each, I think I had 5 of them?)

    Evening was cheesy bread and tortilla chips while hubby and I played PS4, after the kids went to bed

    A day full of snacking and no actual meals lol. My maintenance calories are around 1,800 so I probably went over a bit, but nothing too drastic. Today will be more routine, with getting back to my 16:8IF schedule.

    Don't know ... don't care.

    But I did do a 44.6 km bicycle ride + 2 km walk, so that would have somewhat offset the muesli, carrot cake muffin, crackers and cheese, turkey and veg, pavlova with whipped cream and fruit, and 4 little chocolates.

    Not worried. :)

    WOW how long does it take you to exercise that much, what do you do to keep your mind occupied?

    I cheated. I tried to add everything accurately and came up with 1350 for dinner, and just entered "Christmas dinner" from the database instead. I think it showed 1400. Close enough for me.

    Today will be rough, by my choice. Dinner at Moms, then another at the in laws. Tomorrow I go back to eating properly.

    I consumed a little over 5000kcal yesterday and expect to consume about the same today but I'm in a bulk phase so the more the merrier!
