I ate a average breakfast (maybe 400 calories?), went for a run, ate half a clif bar after (120 calories) but then ate a huge lunch 1-2 hours later. I ate a salad with lots of veggies, but also ate 2 slices of chicken pizza and then 2 cupcakes and 2 slices of chocolate mousse pie. That was probably a total of what, 1200-1500 calories?

Yeah I know it's all my fault... I'm going to do better the rest of this week for sure. Anyway I was planning on just eating some light salad for dinner (no more than 400 calories) so that I would have a deficit of calories. Anyone ever done this before?

Nobody...ever. Hopefully you got in at least 12 miles today to compensate.

You had around 2500 C so far today. You're acting way too strict on meal timing. Skip dinner or eat light. not a big deal.

Is this a joke? I'll have a couple big slices of pizza, a philly cheese steak and chips, or something similar after a good binge drinking session at least once a weekend, with all the alcohol that's probably 3000+ calories for the evening (I drink a lot). Just was at the pharmacy, BP of 124/72, pulse of 52, I'm a former decent college runner who's still fit, so obviously it isn't hurting me. I'm a little beefier than I used to be, but it's mostly muscle so I'm still lean and definitely doesn't hurt with the ladies. You care enough about TWO slices of CHICKEN PIZZA to make a thread about this? Um, get a life, seriously. Time for me to rustle up a hot pocket.

Eat when you are hungry. Don't eat when you are not hungry.
