Good comment.
It's also dangerous. If you eat too much today and try to offset it tomorrow by starving (overshooting), you're going to hurt your body if it becomes a habit. (A deficit larger than ~500kcal will decrease your muscle mass)
Rest is also important for recovery, if you need it. The fitter you are. The more you can do.
