Calorie question!

Hey guys I went over my calories by 670.
The two days before tonight I was under around 400.
If I eat about 80 calories less every day till Monday it should equal the weekly deficit? It goes by weekly right im kinda new and kind of 😕

Yes, you can go by weekly. I'm assuming the 400 is for the two days combined? You can make up the other 270 if you want, but honestly, it's a tiny, tiny amount of your overall deficit (if you're set to lose 1 lb per week, your weekly deficit is 3500 cals) that you may also choose to just not worry about it.

How do you "go by weekly?" Where do you see weekly stats?

In the app, main menu, nutrition, select 'week view', net.. It'll show you how many calories you're under for the week and your net average. You can set it to go for the last 7 days or to restart on a set day per week.

This is basically what you're aiming to do by saving cals each day to balance out Sunday dinner

Energy balance or lack thereof happens on a continuum. There is no 24 hour reset or anything. Time is a human construct. I do not log and use other strategies at the moment to lose weight...I have days with more calories and days with less calories...my weight loss ultimately comes down to that calorie deficit over time..days...weeks...months. With how I'm eating right now I lose about .5 Lb per week.
