    I always take a month-long break around my birthday. Otherwise? I would track but not be as careful about sticking to my deficit. It's your day, enjoy it!

    Sure! Don't think of it as a tedious pain the butt, but rather a wonderful gift to yourself. :wink: Enjoy your cake day!

    I'm going to. My birthday is next month. Not saying I'll stick to the goal that day, but I'll log it!

    No. Birthdays for me usually involve a meal out at a fancy restaurant... I wouldn't even want to try and work out how many calories I ate!

    I did. I wouldn't have been upset if I'd gone way over calories but wanted to stay in the habit. One day off can turn into a week if I'm not careful. So no days off it is!

    I track them, but I don't worry if I go over.

    I don't, but my birthday involves going to a nice restaurant and eating food I only eat once or twice a year. I'm able to get right back into weight management mode the next day, though, otherwise I wouldn't feel comfortable not knowing the amount of calories I was eating, even for one day.

    When I went away for my birthday, or the two theee day weekends this summer, I just put 3500 calories each day and left it alone. I try to not overindulge, but it’s vacation. I only get so many days away, I want to enjoy myself.

    Important thing was eating right once I got back.

    Mine is in a couple of months. I'll likely have my usual breakfast/lunch that I'll log, but I won't log after that. If we end up doing a big day out, I'll skip logging the entire day. One day is not a make or break thing for me. I'm one of those weirdos who actually enjoy logging even if I don't religiously weigh and measure. I'm a data nerd.

    I log my food every day.
    I am not eating at a deficit every day.

    Nope - not worth estimating calories and there is no way i'm weighing cake on my birthday. I know the impact a 'free for all' day will have and logging it won't make a difference if I don't care what the calorie content is.
