Now I try to hit carbs first & foremost.. and it can still get ugly at times.
However.. I'd say do NOT worry about it.. 2900 is a pretty good number for a higher kcal day and maybe it wasn't so good as a refeed, it was good for the soul (free meal!) and that's as important... now just suck it up a bit until the next one.
You are aiming for 2 higher calorie days in a week, I hope?

I tend to leave Friday and Saturdays as my higher cal days, but Fridays haven't been all that high (probably because I eat really low all day, trying to save up for dinner and then dinner's not that bad). 2900 is the highest I've had in three weeks. The only reason it bothers me really is because I was trying to stay on track through until next weekend when I have 3 - 4 high days. Almost a mini-break. Ultimately, though, it won't be that big a deal. The whole weekend NEAT has been high, and I got some workouts in as well both days.
Today while I was baking, I started to feel a binge coming on. I was eating the dough from the spoon which was so gooood and then I had three rice cakes with peanut butter, cocoa and sugar on them in quick succession. It was a very bingey feeling. So I stopped, cleaned up and went to the gym. Now I feel much better. I've made some stuffed peppers for dinner and everything should go back to normal.
Whatever normal is.
