Weekly CICO goals?

Has anyone tried weekly rather than daily CICO goals?
It seems more natural that our bodies want more food one day and less another irrespective of daily targets. Perhaps it might make this easier.
Thoughts?

    I eat lower during the week and higher on the weekend. It suits me.

    I have to have daily goals, the week goal is too big and easy to cheat on. Like others I do try to save up calories for events or try to eat light for a couple days if something unexpected happened and I blew goal one day.

    I generally eat less during the week and then eat extra at weekend.
    If by sunday MFP says i have say 500 calories left from the whole week,if i want a n extra treat ill have it even tho on that day prob make me go over but on the week its balances it self out.
    So i kinda do both .
    I dont do just weekly calories as for me, im not sure if by sunday ill have any calories left lol
