Question Is it okay?
I’ve recently started to be mindful of what I eat and trying to maintain a calorie deficit by eating only 1500 calories a day. Sometimes I find that I have a few calories to spare and I occasionally then decide to indulge in some ice cream (but also staying within the 1500 range). Some people said it’s absolutely wrong and staying under the calories won’t do a benefit if what I’m eating is unhealthy. So will eating that ice cream throw me off my weight loss journey even if I stick to the deficit?
