Untracked Meal Buffer
An untracked meal buffer pre-allocates weekly calories for meals you will not micro-log—honest sizing beats invisible extras on a full plan.
An untracked meal buffer reserves calories and macros you deliberately do not micro-log—family dinners, office pastries, or tasting menus—by pre-spending them in your weekly budget. Buffers fail when they are invisible extras on top of a full plan.
Size the buffer to honesty: five to fifteen percent of weekly calories for social eaters, smaller for home cooks.
Common questions
-
Is a buffer the same as cheating on the plan?
A planned buffer is adherence; unplanned extras are the problem. Name the buffer in your budget so restaurant nights are funded, not guilt-driven surprises.
