Questions about calories... Help

So I just went to Wimpy's Diner and ordered their salmon meal, which was an 8oz grilled salmon, Greek salad (no dressing), kernel corn, garlic bread and beef barley soup. I obviously overate and probably ate my whole calories for the day, but... will that affect my weekly goal? As long as I ate under 1600, which I need to maintain, does it matter? Even if I ate over it, does it?

    I use weekly cals instead of daily. So - I get 1200 a day. If I eat 1000 a day for Mon, Tues, Wed, and Thurs - it means I get 2000 on Saturday night for wings and beer. Just an example. During football season I do a lot of saving from day to day to have junk food on Sunday. :bigsmile: I have to have that or I would cheat so bad...
