Creating a Caloric Deficit

Walking 10,000 steps in a day burns approximately 500 calories. This means that when I consume a meal with extra calories (let's say, more than 700 calories than I normally consume), I will need to walk or run at least 20,000 steps that day, which is precisely what I did today. 

I got in my steps AND I enjoyed a delicious, high-carb meal. 

I don't do this every day of course. But increasing your daily step count is a great way to create a calorie buffer that allows you to enjoy indulgences without derailing your weekly progress!
