I say claim it, WB. That's exactly how people stay on-plan. Where calorie math fails is being able to account for exactly how much food you need and why. That can vary. I think you're smart to listen to your appetite.

I'm glad you bumped this, because I needed it. I went back to work this week and although it's going okay so far, I'm physically and mentally exhausted, if that makes sense. Yesterday, I was feeling frustrated and brain-zapped, and impulsively munched on crapola. So I want to be motivated to say 'no' to my inner two-year-old again. Today is (another) day one.

This sure is easier when you're stuck at home and do your own grocery shopping.
