Yes you can! How did you decide on 1700 cals a day ? Did you work out your basal metabolic rate? Xxx 

Heather …. It’s ok that’s life am having time out and eating normally gained but what to do that’s life 😊you are an amazing lady xxx 

If 1700 is your target calories for weight loss then yes…enjoy them xx 

I just put my height n weight n age into this app and it suggested 1700 do u think its too many I no some have a lot less xx 

I think it changes based on your activity level and whether you want to go fast or slow with weight loss. It’s a good starting point but I picked a number I could achieve most of the time rather than an impossibly small target I would never reach. Good luck Heather 😊 

Without knowing your goals or current body composition it’s hard for me to say, I would check online just Google BMR calculator fill it in and it will tell you how many cals your burning daily then for weight loss subtract 200 - 300 cals from your BMR , there is no need to have a very low calorie diet , just as long as your burning more than your eating you will loose weight 💜 you are also absolutely right you can save up your cals to indulge on other days xxx 

Thanks everyone xx 

I have found The Fitness Chef's book interesting. He views it as a weekly total rather than daily. He also has a calculator on his website. I really need to re-read. 

I do the same as ur friend! usually try to save some for a glass of wine on a fri night. also my macros can be up and down all week but I make sure they come for the week so I'm guessing that's ok 

Calories in v calories out so saving and eating more one treat day is is fine BUT be aware you will put on weight for a couple of days e.g. weight of food and water retention but that will go away in a couple of days
