Remember, it’s not the calorie deficit today that matters.

Oh shit! You ate all that pizza or cheesecake today AND those brownies someone brought into work! You kept other meals small to minimize the damage..

But you are still 1500 calories over your limit..you don’t have to take 1500 from tomorrow or run for 5 hours straight because of this.

First: chances are, your body devoured all those calories no questions asked without even gaining a penny’s weight of pounds.

Second: Literally, spread out over a month, just a -50 deficit will burn those excess calories. Pretty much just walking to the mailbox and back will burn all that cheese cake, pizza and brownies.

So don’t look at calories daily too much, look at them weekly, even monthly.

I was fasting 5 days a week, and eating on the weekends. Did this for a month. I was maintaining my weight still. How? Because on Saturday and Sunday I was eating 18k calories. (Yes this was all planned out)

So even though for those 5 days, I was “losing” 3-4 pounds, the other two days made up for it. This works the same way for weight loss or weight gain.

This is a journey guys, and it’s one hell of a journey regardless of how much weight you have to lose, but look on a macro scale. Today’s pizza won’t affect the end of the month, the end of the year, etc.

Sorry if this made no sense, I’m lacking on sleep 😂

Micro speed, macro patience guys.
