Did anyone Else stick to their calorie deficit on this fine Easter Sunday!??

Toshberry25M

I was craving Cornbread and so today I made a box of jiffy cornbread with just a little butter brushed on top and had myself 2 big slices.... I felt bad about it but i managed to stay within my calories and had it with A big green spinach (Meatless salad) and a grilled baked potato with shredded cheese! was a yummy meal!! what was something yummy that you had today but had self control with!?

I am bulking, so easter is perfect for that

. On a serious note, if I would be cutting, I would still eat what I ate yesterday regardless. One day won't ruin my long term goal.

Well yes but it wasn't any kind of celebratory day in my house, just a Sunday!

There are 6 days of the year that I really don't care about calories. Christmas, Thanksgiving, Easter, 4th of July, My birthday, and one game of the baseball season where I try a couple of the crazy food offerings (this year will be a burger with pulled pork and fried cheese curds). Its 1.5% of the year. Blip on the radar.

But I ate so much ham yesterday and deviled eggs yesterday... I had to be rolled out of my parents house.

I just had one small Easter egg, it was 400 cals of goodness but since I've been losing weight my chocolate cravings have subsided and after i ate it i thought to myself i didn't really want it. I'm shocked as i love chocolate! Weight loss has changed me!

MsMaeFlowers

Technically yes. I had a big deficit for the 2 days prior so I'm pretty positive I didn't go over calories if I look at my week as a whole instead of just 1 day. No actual clue how many calories I ate, as someone else cooked and I wasn't about to ask her for the ingredients in everything. I had 2500 cals to cover the meal and dessert though, so I think I managed it

I went over a bit, but it wasn't because of Easter. Then I didn't go for my usual Sunday night walk either, so there was no burning of those extra calories.

Unusual for me, but I hope to fix that during the remainder of this week.

I went slightly over and definitely ate more high sodium and heavier foods than usual. No big deal! Logged it all, saved enough leftovers for one more meal and then I'll move on! I was surprised that I was only up one pound this morning. I anticipated a much larger jump from water weight!

Barely...

Yup.

Passover for me, and all the extra prep work that goes into making a huge feast for 17 people added a lot to my calorie budget, so it wasn't too hard.

Dawnshealth111

Sure did. Working a busy 12 hour shift helped.

fitjp88

That's gonna be a no, dawg hahaa

[Absolutely. I had some beautiful baked ham and cauliflower. Everyone else had 'all the fixins'.

debrakgoogins

We didn't do the traditional Easter meal so I was well under. Our biggest meal was breakfast. We had spicy chicken salad on toasted english muffins for lunch. The chicken salad is made with yogurt instead of mayo and homemade taco seasoning. For dinner, we had grilled halibut with rice pilaf and beets.

Other than hiding eggs filled with candy for my kids, Easter is pretty much just another Sunday. We were in the car most of the day returning from a long weekend trip to Carlsbad Caverns so most likely I under ate.

whosshe

Yes. I don't have a big family so we don't have a huge dinner and we're not religious so there's no reason to celebrate Easter for us. I felt kind of bad because my 6 year old was expecting Easter to be a thing because school, but I mean, she'll live.

Sounds like a win to me. I was 3,000+ over.

We were at the beach with my in-laws...I was 2000 over on Easter, and 3000 over the day before. But I did enjoy plenty of chocolate and wine!!

spiriteagle99

I had a 16 mile long run today, so I was under my calories. Tomorrow's rest day will balance it out.

RecognitionT

No.

I'm also convinced I undid about 2 weeks worth of deficits.

Angierae75

I didn't even try. Holidays are holidays. I didn't go crazy, but I didn't track, either.

Rogstar

Haha...I made a Ferrero Rocher Cheesecake with Nutella in every nook and cranny for Easter dessert.

One slice alone was near maintenance calories for me

Ninkasi

Nope. Two words: homemade enchiladas.

Max1mumEff0rt

Yep, sure did, and lost a pound!

DomesticKat

I think I was about 900 over. And I don't even celebrate Easter. Whoops.

candicew70

noooo but back on track today!

Crafty_camper123

Heck No. I thought for sure I gained a pound with the excess that I ate. I was pretty sure I got close to +3500 over maintenance over the course of 3 days. But apparently I must have grossly overestimated what I ate. We went out of town, and I did not bring a scale, so I guesstimated everything on the high side. Got on the scale this AM, and I maintained from Thursday. Whew! That or my body just doesn't know it gained some back yet! LOL. It was a nice break. Back to it today!

gwoodsfit

Not me! But I worked overtime in the fitness center today.

adele012

I actually didn’t try to input anything into my diary. It’s way too complicated. But I’m pretty sure I went over. Don’t feel bad at all
