Thursday Twist Aftermath: Korean BBQ Part II 🔥🥩📊
Sharing this for anyone who thinks one social meal ruins progress.
My numbers today in MFP:
🔥 Cut goal: 1,700 calories
🔥 Food eaten: 2,054 calories
That puts me 354 calories over my cut target.
BUT…
My maintenance is around 2,200 calories.
At 2,054 total intake, I am still about 146 calories BELOW maintenance.
That means I am STILL in a small calorie deficit overall.
No panic.
No punishment cardio.
No “I messed up” mindset.
I enjoyed Korean BBQ with my family — guilt free ❤️
My approach moving forward:
✅ Add more steps tomorrow
✅ Trim 50–100 calories from my usual deficit
✅ Keep protein high
✅ Keep carbs controlled
✅ Stay consistent
What I learned 📚👇🏽
Going over your CUT target does NOT automatically mean fat gain.
Fat gain happens when you consistently eat ABOVE maintenance — not just above your deficit goal.
There’s a difference between:
• Going over your cut calories
• Eating at maintenance
• Eating in a surplus
Tonight I went over my 1,700 cut target.
But I did NOT go over my 2,200 maintenance.
One higher-calorie meal does not equal body fat gain.
Sustained surplus over time does.
Knowledge removes panic.
Consistency builds results.
P.S.
I brought my food scale and weighed my food. No shame I got goals to meet.
