    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.

    I quit tracking on about December 15th and probably won't start again until mid-January.
    I'm not going crazy with the eating, but I have added a few extra Christmas treats into my day.
    I am exercising a bit more.

    A. I don't track anyways. And eat at surplus because that is my goal atm. But despite all the dinners, by the end of the week I usually end up eating a lot less to even it out

    C. I’m tracking and focusing on my weekly average. I’m banking extra calories for the special treats. Yesterday I was under goal by 500-600 cals as a result of a double workout and our girls night out dinner was sashimi so pretty low cal. Today I was 300-400 over after a huge holiday brunch then skipping my workout to get my nails done with my step daughter. It’s 7pm and I’m still full from brunch so skipping dinner. The two days together pretty much balance out. This is what I do around all holidays and special occasions
