How do I change my daily calorie goals to different amounts per day.
For example mon-fri 2000 calories sat-sun 2400 calories.

    Premium MFP will let you do that, I believe.

    Free MFP doesn't, though there are ways you can fake it. (For example, set calorie goal manually to 2000, log 400 calories of a custom exercise - "weekend extra calorie allowance" or something - on Saturday/Sunday.)

    It's tedious, but you can sit down and do a month or two of the weekend "exercise" all at once pretty quickly . . . and it's free.

    Or, just eat to the number you know is your goal, track your weekly average intake instead of daily.

    You can manually set your calorie goal every day of the week. Have it set to 2000 M-Fri and on Saturday morning go to Goals and set it to 2400 and then change it back to 2000 on Monday morning.
