Is this math for weight loss correct?

If I'm not as hungry on some days in a month (say 5 days), & eat the minimum 1200 calories for females (instead of 1600 that mfp says I should eat) can I eat more calories on 5 days in the month and still lose weight?
If I eat 2000 (1600+400) calories on those 5 days, do they balance out the 5 days of 1200 calories? Thanks!
Fyi, I have no eating disorder. Some days are just not hungry days.

Yep that is absolutely fine. Many people use a weekly average instead of looking at it day to day.7

If you click nutrition at the bottom of your diary, you can toggle between daily and weekly.2

Excellent tips thanks (I didn't know about the weekly tally it looks really cool)!0
