Is this just a case of bad timing earlier in the day and eating a little too much in one of my previous meals/snacks and I should have kept some calories for later on? thanks Ps.. I am trying to cut down now and not gain

CUT time...
So I finished my clean bulk Friday and today I am starting to cut for summer. I put in losing 1.5 lbs a week in MFP. I dont want to lose as much muscle so I went with 1.5 and not 2lbs a week.
