Right now, I am 1600 cal under my weekly goal. If I stay in my calorie allotment tomorrow, does that mean I have 1600 calories to use how I want on Saturday plus the calories Im allowed on saturday? (Im going to a birthday party at a bar...lol)

    Sure, if you like. You don't have to feel compelled to use them, but if you want to, they're your calories to do as you please with.

    I don't think that's right.

    Are you looking at the app? The number that says NET CALORIES UNDER WEEKLY GOAL includes all of the days calories for the days that haven't occurred yet plus any leftover calories from previous days this week.

    Example: If your goal is 1500 calories per day, your week runs Sunday through Saturday, and your current Calories Under Weekly goal number is 3500, you have that many calories from now through Saturday. So you could eat 1500 on Friday and 1500 on Saturday and then split the other 500 any way you want between now and then.

    No. I would interpret it as including your calories alloted for tomorrow.
    If you subtract your normal daily calorie goal for each day of the week you have not entered food yet then you could see if there is any extra.

    Your diary isn't open, so I can't tell. But yes, make sure that you're really 1600 under, and that it's not counting unused days.

    Some people save them up for the weekend, some write them off.

    It's 8am here and thus far I'm 3,743 calories under my weekly goal. But my week doesn't end till till midnight Saturday. So to get a true reading i'll have to wait til then.

    On the mobile app you can change the day that your week starts, so that it's showing the last 7 days.

    Mine restarts every Saturday morning but,I usually don't use up my cals because my cheat day is Saturday I go over few hundred cals but, by the time I weigh in again. I prelog everything though to keep track of these things.
