this is what I have in the calorie bank from Sunday through Friday. Doubtful I will eat them back (normally don't)...just curious of what you would eat? Happy weekend!

Pizza with sausage, brocolli and mushrooms. My guilty pleasure. 😊5

Wine, cheese, pasta, meat or seafood, veggies, salad, fruit, dessert, more wine. Typical Sunday for me5

Pizza ... garlic knots ... beer ... Maybe since it's summer I'd skip the knots and have an ice cream cone after.2

Brownies.5

Cap'n Crunch.1

Chocolate1

Probably IPA, or blue corn enchiladas (OK, half serving for 1200, with the sides ), or gelato, or . . . .3

I do this every week! I alternate between any of the following: donuts, ice cream, chicken tenders, bacon cheeseburgers, pizza, a meal out or something like snacks at a ballpark, real cake (“real” means a cake that usually comes in around 1300 calories/slice) or a fancy pasta dinner (like actual Alfredo-not made from cauliflower). The possibilities are endless!
Basically-anything and everything that is too calorie-dense for me to fit into a “normal” day because either they are just higher calories than I have to work with or I don’t find the foods filling (so I need to eat something else with them to not be hungry-which then puts me over my calorie goal).
I don’t drink or I would probably allocate some calories for cocktails as well.5 -
Brisket and caramel corn. Or maybe just caramel corn given how hard it is for me to fit that into my calorie allotment.1

After I finish those garlic knots, pretty much anything on the menu at this place:

It is a testament to human strength and endurance that I have managed to avoid going into that place since starting my diet, while driving past it approximately a hundred times.4 -

It is fun to have some to spend, isn't it? I almost always bank calories for this reason.0

It’s not a “bank”. Storing and using energy are not static processes, esp over a period like a week.
If you under eat, then you lose weight more quickly, and if you overeat, you gain it back. The extra fat is your “bank”.
You can do what you want and there is nothing wrong with relaxing your “vigilance” for a day.13 -
