Ate more than half of days calories in one sitting... what to do

To be brief I'm 5 foot 5 weighing 150 (want to be around 130-135) and lightly active. I'm supposed to eat 1,600 but it's been like 5 months since I last logged in what I've been eating/ calorie intake. In breakfast I splurged on carrot cake, cereal, all those dry non filling carbs and managed to eat around 1,162 calories in one sitting. Should I not eat the rest of the day to compensate for it? I tend to do this a lot since I'm such a snacker rather than sit down and eat type of person. It annoys me because I know how to loose weight and that I should listen to my body but I'm a very hypocritical person. Anyone ever encountered such a dilemma or issue?

Tips? Thanks,

I did the same this this morning, but I ate around 11:00.

What I paln on doing is counting my super huge breakfast as both breakfast and lunch. I have 300 calories left over for dinner. So mess around cooking the lowest calorie food you have in your house, veggies, fruits, and adding a little of higher calorie foods in. You can make a pretty filling meal in under 100 calories.

Then if you need it exercise like crazy. looks like you have about 500 calories left. So you could have 2 300 calorie meals and then burn off the extra 100.

Or if you really need it the best way to fill yourself up is water. Drink a really big glass every hour, with small meals, and you'll stay in your calorie range while staying full.

Mainly don't worry about it, I have a tendency to do this as well,(alot) and it hasn't really hindered my weight loss. Good luck!

it is one day -- eat normally for the rest of the day, do NOT restrict yourself, and you should be fine.  You would have to eat 3,500 calories ON TOP OF your maintenance calories to gain a pound of fat.

You may suffer from some rebound water retention -- drink lots of water and DON'T weigh yourself tomorrow

Here's what I would do.  Eat a nice big salad for lunch with some lean protein mixed in.  I like the imitation crab. Then go with a nice big bowl of soup for dinner.  I like vegetable soup. And you can eat a lot of it! This should put you right where you want to be.

wow creepy, we are so alike, i started at 147 and my goal is 130-135 and i'm 5'5 too and i'm supposed to eat 1600 but never do! right now i'm at 139, but i could have gained, my next weigh in is saturday AH! You should eat the rest of the day, drink lots of water and  Suseuser  has a good idea, just make sure you don't starve yourself!

Breakfast like a king, dine like a poorper!

Its better to pig out in the morning cos your metabolism is more active at during the day.

Eat a couple of light meals for the rest of the day. The occasional pig out prevents platues, and a couple of hundred calories wont set you back much.
