Eat your TDEE -15%. We all stumble from time to time, but the best thing to do is to go back to the RIGHT pattern and not try to fix a wrong with another wrong.

woops, reverted back to old behaviors last night unintentionally.... on an upnote it was my first time binge eating (err without being drunk which doesn't happen TOO often) in a long time (i used to binge 3x week).

sooo... since this is my first err while doing EMTWL... do i just eat my 1850 as normal today, or should i try to compensate through the week and eat about 100 less each day to even it out at the end?

thanks

No need to drop the calories down!!! Just eat the 1850 as you normally would do.

I allow one cheat day a week where I don't really monitor calories, but I also don't give myself free reign to wolf down a whole cake so to speak. I just eat until I'm definitely satisfied.

I feel if you have a cheat day or a cheat meal once in a while helps keep me sane!!!!!!! And I'm still losing inches

I have been sick the past week but kept eating my cut. I thought about eating maintenance because I felt like crap and well I should have listened to my body! I ate anything that was not nailed down last night! I cannot even begin to calculate how many calories I ate! I woke up this morning and besides being bloated I feel great. I guess my body just needed to eat to help me heal! I have had a few binges theses past couple of weeks since I started but my weight is finally trending downward and almost back to my starting point, well until this morning! LOL
