    I plan to track as I go to see where my calories are and try to leave some wiggle room for treats.

    I'm going to try to eat at maintenance until the 1st. I just want to enjoy the holidays without constantly worrying about food- plus, after almost 5 months of a deficit, it will be a nice break for body, mind, and soul! Hope you all have a wonderful holiday. :)

    Maintenance or slightly over. I planned the menu of grilled salmon, asparagus, and potatoes. I’ll keep it to 2 glasses of wine. The part I can’t control is what guests bring — like cookies. I’ll get lots and lots of steps.

    Thanks for the answers. Total curiosity. My plan is B but A is always a few yeast rolls away. Lol

    We have already had our family Xmas get together. My internet was down, so I
    D. Didn't track anything
    But we did have a mostly healthy, reasonable calorie meal (pork chops, roasted potatoes and zucchini, salad, rolls)
    It's back up, so I plan to choose plan C on Xmas eve and Xmas day.

    I ate a little less all week to save calories for Christmas Eve dinner. I don't celebrate the holidays on any other day so I don't need to worry about that. I'm estimating my calories for Christmas Eve dinner but I have a lot to play around with so I'm not too worried.

    1/2 of A - I will enjoy myself
    B - I plan on eating at maintenance for the next week
    C - I will log it all, the days I hit my goal and the days I go 1000s cals over

    I plan on using all 3, except I will still enjoy myself. Track my food doesn't stop me from having a good time. What's important is the special time spent with my family, creating wonderful memories. Food and drink will be included, but it won't be the centre of my attention.

    In addition I'll continue to calorie cycle, watching my average calorie intake, over the week, rather daily. I'll save calories for things I really love. Balance heavier meals, with some lighter ones. It's all about balance and adjusting my intake to suit me. I'll log as accurately as possible, but also estimate in some situations. Aiming for close to maintenance calories over the next fortnight. Having a target calorie range of 1,700 up to 2,000 calories per day, as it's a special occasion. But if I go over, it won't bother me. Tracking at/after each meal does help me to cap excess calorie intake and not eat mindlessly. This will also keep my 625 day unbroken streak, of accurate daily logging. It will also provide accurate data for me, to analyse in the future. But should one or two days go above this target, it won't bother me.

    I'll use Christmas as a planned diet break, then in the New Year, I will continue as planned. Cutting calories once again, to have a calorie deficit, aiming to lose my final 0.5lb, to reach my goal.

    I don't expect to log everything Christmas day. Don't worry, I won't be under-eating.

    I will do c. But allow myself some extra calories on 12/24-26 and 1/1 if I want them.

    My answer is C.

    Even if I do something stupid, I want to have a record of it.
