It allots a certain number of points (e.g. calories, but a bit more complex) per day. It also allots a certain number of "flex" points per week...so you can eat a bit more heartily every day, or you could save your points for a specific occasion and go hog wild on that day (still within reason, of course).  For gaming weeks, I, personally am very well behaved for the weekdays, and then indulge a bit on the weekend.  I don't eat like the other people in my group (those who aren't trying to lose weight, or who run marathons and have to eat a thousand or more calories than me). However, I do eat from what is available at the table, rather than seeking specific stuff. It's a bit easier than trying to figure out "dietary snacks".  HOWEVER, on top of that, I also usually bring a meal. We game once a month/once every two months....and we game all weekend. So the hosts cook a meal, I cook a meal (I like to cook) and others provide breakfasts and snacks.  On a gaming weekend, I usually provide a large volume, low cal meal. My favorites are chili (mostly tomatoes, beans, onions, and peppers) a veggie laden pasta dish (think puttanesca), or a stew (again, heavily laden with flavorful veggies and herbs).   I don't know if that's helpful to you/your situation...but if you ate a giant bowl of very low cal chili before gaming, were good all week, and then let yourself go...I don't know how much harm you could do to your diet at that point.</blockquote>
