Yesterday, quite frankly, I didn't eat enough. I didn't come close to hitting my fat target, I was under my minimum protein, and I was less than half of my carb target. The carb target is really a target, not a minimum, like the protein, but half? Even for someone who doesn't really care to miss real low on carbs, that's really too low on a day I exercised for more than 2 hours. My deficit was huge, and I lost weight, which is nice, but it's a little bit fool's gold - I'll have to compensate for it today, to make sure I feed my muscles enough protein, and I'll need some carbs for energy.
It's good to have a day like yesterday once in while, though, for two reasons: 1) it shows you that you can go at 60% of your usual kCal without starving, and 2) it's good to mix it up once in a while. Mixing it up keeps you from getting into a rut, mentally or physically.
The weight loss likely has more to do with the dramatic carb drop than the caloric deficit, of course, but I will try to keep it off. Time to go get some protein...
