So you have been doing the right thing, you've weighted your food, tracked your goals. you step on the scale and see a new low but you know the math says you should still have more weight loss to appear, maybe its tomorrow?
BUT
Its nacho night. Typically followed by a few days of water weight and sodium fun..
What do you do?
I'm having the nachos!

Not worth it!5

Have the nachos, and just wait a few days to step on the scale again.5

Nachos FTW!!!2

Short term high, not worth the frustration8

Actual fat loss will show up on the scale sooner or later. By not having nacho night, you're basically just avoiding some very temporary water weight gain. As long as they fit in your calories, have the nachos.6

Say Yes to the nachos.
Weight will do its thing a day slower. Or not. Yesterday I ate 1600 calories over my goal. This morning I was down .6 pounds.2 -
Have the nachos. It'll push your goal weight back a couple of days, but this is a marathon, not a sprint.3

Have the nachos. Which I'm doing Sunday night for our usual Super Bowl dinner.
I had Chinese last night and was up 1.5 today. I know it'll go away soon.3 -
I vote for nachos but within my calories for the day. (This is when it's really great to have a decently high calorie goal.)2

The answer will always be nachos for me!3

Nachos with a side of zero guilt. Its just water weight.3

Congrats on the new low!
And of course nachos win1 -
Funny. Tomorrow will be a nacho or wings night for me (Jets are playing Vegas) and no idea what Sunday will bring. Be up from water weight more than any actual fat. It'll show but to hell with it.3

Ugh. Why did you have to bring this up AFTER nacho night and a 816 Cal overage yesterday?
Followed by equaling lowest 2018 single value weigh in today and down 0.5lbs from yesterday?
Only one 16oz beer, so no dehydration!
Sometimes it just doesn't make sense on a single day basis! (current thinking: weight of food in transit )
Or... Nachos and beer diet for the win!!!3 -

Hey. @pav8888 says it work, and they are pretty smart so I'm going on the Nacho and beer diet.
If I don't lose weight I'm blaming you!
Had a similar thing happen to me. Wasn't nachos, but wings and something else plus beer and was down almost a pound the next day.

I'd get the nachos and just wait until next week to weigh in again.2

Why is it throwing away progress if it is planned for? Confuzzled.6 -
you could just have a few nachos0

I'd have the nachos too - this is not about losing weight per se - it's about a new sustainable eating lifestyle6
