calorie restriction per day?

I have a question about calorie restrictions. My current plan I restrict myself about 1100 cals from what i burn everyday. I am using FitDay and it makes it easy to know where I am at for the day.

My question is this, if I for some reason consume way less calories (or too many) can I benifit the next day because of the extra loss the day before and consume more but still stay at 1100 relatively?

ex.

yesterday my restriction was 1500
today my restriction is normal at 1100, can i consume 400 more calories and not gain?


or are the calories that i consumed the day before already converted to fat?

sorry if its confusing I can't really figure out how to explain what I mean.

Compensatory behavior is not healthy in my book.

Establish a plan. Try to stick to that plan as consistently as possible. When you trip, hop right up and find your stride.... letting the past remain where it belongs.

Wow, I'm in a double posting mood today!

Aren't you lucky.

And to answer your question... our bodies don't keep daily totals. It works more on a continuum. So net caloric deficits over longer periods of time lead to fat loss. If there are some surplus days mixed into that time frame, the net result will still be a weight loss.

And that ties in with what I said above.

hey hey, stop filling my thread up with that crap! i was wondering why I got 6 replies so fast. ok so a week of net calorie restriction as long as on average is my 1100 base will loose the same amount of weight. awesome. I am gonna try to increase my restrictions when I can and keep them that way but its good to know that I can have the extra calories stored up for like a saturday of a good few shots of alcohol.

is this still right?

The idea is not to create the biggest restriction possible.

Not at all.

So in your world....

Calores in vs. calories out = create the biggest deficit possible?

That's very flawed logic and has the real potential of leaving you worse off than you currently are. I'd re-think your approach to be honest.
