      My original post included the macros I had by 6:00PM

      Calories: 937
      Carbs: 59
      Fat: 14
      Protein: 139

      I usually have approximately 400-500 calories left for dinner...however I had an unexpectedly long cardio session which is why I had so many calories left for dinner.

      I strongly believe in eating my exercise calories, at least 70% of them because I am trying to retain as much muscle mass as possible while at a caloric deficit. I theoretically have 1000 calories left to eat, but realistically I'll probably eat 700-800.

      I've had a fairly nutritious day, as my macros should indicate.

      Fair enough - the way I read it, you had 937 left after eating all your meals for the day, and that didnt sound like a good place to be.
      I hope you enjoyed your bonus cals.

      What did you end up with? I would have gone for the reese's pb egg and ice cream (gots to get that fat up, right?).

      I had a bag of dried fruit & nuts...I know that it sounds "healthier" than some of the options listed here but I LOVE dried mango, pineapple, cranberries...you name it :D Here are my stats for today:

      TODAY:
      Cals: 1,587
      Carbs: 152
      Fat: 38
      Protein: 149
      Potassium: 3,169
      Sodium: 2,030


      Remaining
      CALS: 350
      CARBS: 41
      FAT: 27
      PROTEIN: -4
      POTASSIUM: 331
      SODIUM: 470

      I regret not getting the Cadbury Creme Egg...it is my favorite chocolate and it's only available once a year!!

      IF I had that many calories left and IF I was hungry, I would probably eat pizza.

      I leave it there. On days when I exercise a lot, I have about 1,000-1,200 left (by volleyball).
      I feel strong when I look back at my diary and get too say "I saved (number of calories) and stayed strong."

      I thought I was the only one who was at a 1,000 deficit a day. Whew

      Having almost 1000 calories left to eat is not the same thing as having a deficit.

      If it fits the calories, and she's already getting a balance of healthy fruits, veggies, fats and lean protein... there's absolutely no harm in eating chocolate, candy, cake, pie, etc.

      exactly.
      I feel sorry for you if you deprive yourself of everything! I have one little 'cheat'/day to keep me sane!

      It's a mint milkshake at McDonalds that only comes out around St. Patrick's Day. I've never had one but I hear they taste good.


      If I had 1000 calories extra... I'd probably splurge on some Ben & Jerry's.

      If I had a 1000 calories left I'd eat a kashi roasted vegetable pizza or some toast with organic butter or coconut oil.

      I'd go check my MFP keying for the day. I bet I forgot to key the 3 servings of Girl Scout cookies and milk at 2AM.
