Do you do extra X to counterbalance not enough y (Details inside)

Nope. It doesn’t work that way. :)

Sorry NO !

Those aren’t the best examples. Brushing teeth and feeding pets are daily priorities.

There are times I deprive myself of ice cream, but when I indulge I go to the extreme. I probably add a ¼ cup of chocolate syrup.

Is this a trick to make us do Algebra?

The only example I could think of off the top of my head is that when I know I’m going out to eat for dinner, I try to eat healthier options for breakfast and lunch, and also not to eat too much, to kind of compensate for a bigger meal that no doubt won’t be quite as healthy.

Like @LifeQuestioner said, only I don’t eat at all until I get to the special meal.

Well, @Dutchess_III, being diabetic, that would not be a good option for me.
