I work out most evenings and can burn about 800 to 1000 calories. My question is should I attempt to eat some of them that evening or can I eat them the next day. I usually get home after my workout around 8pm and that is really late cause I try to get to bed around 10 pm.

    If you anticipate burning 800 calories it might be worth it to try to eat those calories throughout the day before your workout. That's just my preference, I tend to have a harder time with my workout if I don't eat some of those calories beforehand. To be honest, I'm not sure why mfp has a daily caloric intake limit as opposed to a weekly - there has to be some science behind it! Maybe someone else knows a bit more?
