My goal in addition to calorie counting is to get a healthy ratio between fat, protein, and carbs AND try fullfilling as many of my daily nutrients as possible with a variety of food. Having said that, there are days when that's just not going to happen and I don't feel guilty as long as I practiced moderation. Today there were 2 things that I ate that definately mess with that ratio, a creme filled donut, and a scoop of icecream. I stopped at ONE on both. In the end, I did an hour of excercise and I still only ate 1600 calories. My goals are 1200-1800. I made it a large range on purpose. My average is 1400 (especially when I'm eating good). I don't advocate eating like that everyday (for optimum health), but I love that I don't have to feel guilty because I induldged once in a while.
