When we ruin our daily goals, whether it be by not fully hitting our daily macros or ending up eating twice what we should, this doesn’t make us weak. It just makes us human.

It’s completely normal for this to happen. The best decision we can do when that happens is accept what we did and remember the goals we have set for ourselves, proceeding to move on. No one fails one wants to fail on purpose, so we shouldn’t waste time thinking about our mistakes and beating ourselves up over them.

Trust us on this matter, because in the past we have had our own battles, we have been where you are, struggling with food cravings, anxiety and guilt. But if there’s something we’ve learned is that guilt is a waste of an emotion. Use your extra calories to fuel an incredible workout, and that way getting back on track with your diet and macros.

The most important thing is: DON’T cut your calories or double your physical activity in the hope of correcting your mistakes. Experiencing hunger is something that shouldn’t happen to anyone, specially those who have the means to not experience it. Also, if you start doing cardio marathons as if you were going to participate in the Olympics, you’re bound to be on the verge of an eating disorder, which is the worst approach to maintaining a sustainable diet in the long run.

Remember that sometimes, sh*t happens. A bad day doesn’t necessarily mean that you’re going to have a bad week or month. If you make a mistake, accept it and go back to your normal diet, no calorie cutting, no extra training sessions and DEFINITELY, no extra cardio sessions.
