I swear by the zig zag method. It's the only way to do this without feeling like quitting.
You figure out your caloric intake needs for the DAY, multiply by SEVEN, and that is your total caloric intake for the week.
One day you can go over the daily limit, the next day you go below the daily limit, and it's all okay because at the end of the seven days, you stayed within your range.
If I know it's my monthly dinner date with my girlfriend at the super chic restaurant in town, I will zig zag the day before and the day after because on Girlfriend At The Chic Restaurant Day, I am going to have those three glasses of wine and that scrumptious cheesecake!
So that's how it works!
It's fabulous!
