Episode 3489: Registered dietitian Leah Higl shares three simple ways to respond after going over your calorie budget, from doing nothing at all to gently spreading the difference across the rest of the week. She explains why one day of overeating rarely stalls weight loss and how a flexible approach protects both your progress and your sanity. Read along with the original article(s) here: https://www.idealnutrition.com.au/what-to-do-when-you-blow-your-calorie-budget/ Quotes to ponder: "Compensating by reducing your calories a lot the next day could lead to you being hungrier and more likely to end up eating more calories anyway." "It's more of an issue if that one day over the calorie budget turns into quite a few days over your calorie target." "In an ideal world, you would be following a plan that allows some flexibility such as an occasional relaxed or social meal or the ability to eat something to satisfy a craving whilst working towards your goal."
