Weekend Nightmare

Quote  |  Reply

Im going out for a meal on Saturday evening, have yet to find out where it is.. When I do I'll have a look at their menu before I go.. 

I would like to have a few glasses of wine with my meal, so should I save most of my calories for the night out? Or shoud I just eat normally thoughout the day and the meal and wine as extra calories?

I really want to enjoy myself and not have to worry about counting how many calories is in my meal and glasses of wine.

I would do the latter.  Assuming you've spent all week keeping quite close to your weight-loss calorie intake, that is!  Treat Saturday as a metabolism-boosting, eat-your-maintenance-calories day, choose the food reasonably sensibly and don't go overboard with the wine.  Don't weigh yourself for a few days afterwards mind you.  :-)  Have fun and enjoy yourself.

i dont think it would be to bad to save a good amount of calories so you feel less guilty afterwards. especialy if you eat a balanced meal.

I agree with gijane - "saving" calories for dinner could easily mean that you end up eating more than you planned, because you are so hungry by that point - the bread basket or the chips or an appetizer are easier to pass up when you aren't starving an hour before getting to the resteraunt.

Thank you, I have been really good this week, done all my exercises and have stuck to around 1300 a day! So I shall treat oneself Laughing thank you for your info

Just one trick: if it's not too warm, get a broth-based soup as an appetizer, and eat a salad (get the dressing on the side and dip the end of your fork in dressing)--that will stop you from "wasting" calories on bread or higher fat stuff.

Enjoy!
