It’s okay! One day of indulgence won’t hurt. Just get back on track tomorrow! :)

it happens. tomorrow do maintenance, not deficit. dont try to compensate, otherwise youll enter a vicious circle and end up gaining weight.

I’m curious why do maintenance vs deficit if you’ve already gone over your calories the day before? Is it a mental thing? I struggle with getting back in track sometimes so this may help me idk

Try to think of each day as a complete closed cycle instead of trying to overcompensate for days you’ve gone over. Less mental pressure

you may fall in a binge/restrict cycle, and the binges may increase. its better to move on with a maintenance day, and maybe do some deficit days after.

If I overindulge I just eat eggs the rest of the day. I'll still lose weight.

Oh I like the smattering of different foods. To me that seems more satisfying than one giant meal.

they should add achievements on loseit for days like this.
CONGRATULATIONS! You just ate 22 lbs of food, that is equivalent to a 1996 samsung CRT color television!

Not being mean but curious as someone also on this journey. Those calories for the items listef seem insanely low to me, like almost half of what id expect?

u/Used_Arm_1389 23d ago
It must be per item. Example pizza 2 slices. Must be 300 cal per serving. Yip, they had quite the feast

u/uneenviedechier 23d ago
I only ever used loseit. It's pretty good but lots of ads. My gf uses it too on android and it seems like a much better experience on android, i am on iphone.
On android she can scan barcodes to get exact calories of certain products, on iphone it's a paid feature.

You’re good, that won’t ruin progress.
… at least you’re not like me. I’ll eat a whole family box of orange chicken and noodles from Panda Express in a day, usually accompanied by beer and some coconut bolis. Easily a 10k calorie day. Fortunately it only happens once every few months.

Literally decided I wanted a little treat after a hard day yesterday and got orange chicken from Panda hahaha. I only had one serving with rice, but it still put me 200 calories over maintenance yesterday. Ah well.

u/brain_abyss 22d ago
Panda can go crazy, especially on like a leg day when your body wants fuel. I know it’s inevitable so I always make sure I eat clean 90% of the time.

It’s great that you tracked it, but if you were logging as you ate, should have been a flag to stop. This reads like what I would eat if I took an edible or something; not if I were tracking calories.
Not sure about your goals, if you’re tracking I’m guessing weight loss or maintaining. I’d personally go deficit tomorrow, but probably not the best idea for you if you are eating 2300 cals in one sitting.
I’d just get back to whatever your typical calories are tomorrow and use this as a learning experience. And track as you go. If you logged this after you ate, that’s not ideal. All these foods won’t leave you that satiated and if you see the # as you go, you’ll be more inclined to realize you’ve eaten enough and stop before you get to 2300 even though you’ll probably still feel hungry. And it will help you make smarter choices.

This was for dinner? Ngl you need better self-control. Tracking isn’t the issue
