What if one day you take more calories than you should?

I would just chalk it up to experience and move on - it's only putting you one day behind your weight loss schedule, which in the context of your whole life isn't that big a deal.

If it is an unusual event (thanksgiving, christmas, wedding, etc), then just log all food and extra calories, and go back to your regular calorie limit next day.
No need to compensate for the extra calories.

But if you regularly go above your calorie limit (like once a week or more), then definitively you need to compensate in the next days.
To keep track and correctly compensate, you may want to move some of the food logged one day, to the next day.
That way, you will automatically know how much less you need to eat to compensate.
Again: only do this, if you regularly go above your calorie limit.

What do you do when you get too much calories above your daily goal one day? (example: 1000 calories) Do you cut off calories from the next days? Resulting in your body to go to starvation mode? Or do you burn them with exercice the next days?

Your body won't go into starvation mode eating under 1200 calories one day.

Your body doesn't reset overnight. I do not personally think there is anything wrong with eating less the next day to make up the difference. I do it all the time, I eat low cal one day, high cal the next. It is called calorie cycling. I never look at my daily calories, I only focus on achieving a weekly deficit.

One time is cool, if it's regular AND you see your weight going up, then you need to either eat less, exercice more, do both, or exercice more and eat more.
but a day won't change anything, so enjoy

hi there,

1000cal is too low for any person , what about your exercise calories
your net caloreis should be minimum 1200 for example

Net Calories = Daily Goal Calories – Exercise Calories
1240 = 1840 - 600

if you not clear with my reply then ask me again or add me so i can see what is your intake and may be advise . eat less calories then your goal can put you into starvation mode or you might not lose fast or may result in slow Metabolism which in any situation not good if you are looking at long term health and weight loss .

Honestly sometimes I just shrug it off and say hey we all have our bad days and this is mine...tomorrow is a new day and a whole new start:)

Yet sometimes the next day I just burn a few extra calories if im feeling bad

^^this - assuming you were 1000 over and not on 1000 in the first place ( I think there is some confusion there based on some ofte responses)

Try not to wory about it and maybe do a little more exercise the next day i wouldnt eat less calories the next day this is what i sometimes do hope this helps

First of all, your body would NOT go into starvation mode because you did not eat for a day, if it did, people who fast once per week (and there are some people who do that) would continually be in it. What would happen though, if you did not eat for a day, is that you would be ravenous and most likely eat anything and everything as soon as you started eating again. You could end up in a vicious circle.

If eating 1000 calories over one day is just a one-off, write that day off and continue as per normal the next day. If it is a regular occurrence, you would need to rethink your weightloss goals and your daily calorie allowance.

I go over at least twice a week. I'm alright. I work hard, so I guess I haven't gained. Good luck

well even if you were set to lose 1 pound--then you'd be over your maintenance by only 500 calories--meaning that the next day's deficit would cancel that out.

if you're set at 1/2 a pound you're 750 over maintenance....3 days to cancel it out--so a grand total of 4 days behind...you'd still be at a deficit at the end of the week. So really it isn't that big of a deal you see?

So, essentially you're behind 2-4 days, you can easily just strive for a bit higher deficit for several days in a row as well, say 150-200 calories and "make right" as far as your weekly deficit goes.

Basically--to me-- It's not worth starving yourself the next day and setting yourself up to binge later. Just listen to your hunger the next day without the intention of compensating--if you're less hungry then eat less but if you're not then eat your usual amount.
