If I ate almost triple my allowed calories in one day πŸ™ˆ do I make up for it by decreasing my daily allowance or do I write it off and just carry on? Fasting tomorrow is also an option. As it stands I am only allowed 1200calories a day so I don't know if cutting it down even more is a viable option

    I am trying to lose 25 kgs (55 pounds). I do have it set to fast as that was my allowance when I was on Noom. I am coping on the allowance on a normal day. Today's misstep was more cause I was weak minded at a birthday party. I'm just trying to get to my first goal of reaching the 70's before December and then I will up my intake and exercise. At least that is the thought. When I was on MFP before I had it set to 0.5 kgs/wk and the slow loss was very demotivating

    Same advice from me, move on and accept that this week will probably be a maintenance week. Social events happen and there will be other times where you would like to join in, just manage them as best you can.
    I'm also an advocate of slowly is good, I eat whatever I fancy in moderation so averaging 0.5lb per week, it's slow but steady.

    Just carry on and eat like normal, it's not a big deal :) Worrying about things like this is unhealthy :(
