On the weekends do you stick to your diet or do you just eat without worries?

    I count them. If i eat in a deficit on thursday and friday I may have a few extra for the weekend to add some treats.

    I stick to it - eating with no worries can easily blow any deficit I've made through the week and it's even created a surplus at times. Not worth it to me. I do use some of my deficit for certain meals or treats, but I won't just all out eat whatever I want.

    I stick to tracking and planning daily, don't take weekends off. For me, I plan a week ahead, so I log out my day in advance. Things may adjust a little on the day of, but for the most part, I stick to what I plan out. It's almost easier for me to track on the weekends because I feel like I have more time, so that's when I plan out my week.

    I zig-zag my calories. I eat a little less during the week & then maintenance on the weekend. I'm still tracking so I don't over eat.

    I eat whatever I want Friday and Saturday nights. 2 cheat meals per week and alcohol on Saturday. Don't care what I eat for those 2 meals. I am extremely strict during the week tho. 86 pounds down

    I tend to struggle on the weekends so usually I end up in between my normal deficit and maintenance. Still losing, just not as much. It helps to relax me without derailing.

    I eat a very low calorie for breakfast and lunch on Saturday so I can splurge on a glass of wine, sushi and some chocolate for dinner.

    Still log. Still care.

    I'm a binge eater. I eat very healthy, but too much of it at times. The calorie counting helps me be aware of those times. I'm more likely to stop mid-binge 'cuz I'll stop to log & that breaks my habit. I don't mind so much going over calories if it's special or celebratory...just not binging.

    I still stick to my deficit. I might eat lower calorie on tow meals so I can eat a treat- BUT i still log it and make sure it is within my deficit as much as possible. If I know something big is coming up like a birthday or something I will "bank" calories like some have said so I will still be ok

    I save calories during the week to use weekends.
