Question

Calories

Hi All-
I know the 10 - 12x your body weight rule, but IF you go over in calories, but your carb count is ok...will that hurt you tremendously? Not every day of course, just once in a while. Like on days you discover how good whipping cream and splenda is with berries.

Thanks for the help...

Summer, the 10x guideline is considered a minimum that you need to stay healthy - going over is actually a good thing

If I eat 10x my body weight I don't lose because I am very active. Everyone is different, of course, but don't let that number (whatever 10x happens to be) become a worry.

Thanks Nat!
I wasn't overly concerned (I enjoyed it way too much!). But I just wanted to make sure I was ok.
