Calories carried over

nickynoodlecartwright

Hi everyone, i have not been using this site long, before this i used another site and if you didnt eat all your cals they were carried over to the next day bearing in mind that you did have to eat them before the week was out. Can you do that on here?

Thanks

Nicky

I dont know if there is a right answer. Since i am taking Sunday as my day of rest i dont feel bad if i go over my cals a bit (no extra since no excercise) knowing that i had several hundred left over from the rest of the week.

MFP doesn't automatically carry over calories, so if you want to go with the weekly calorie allowance method you have to keep track of leftover cals yourself. You could put it in the notes section of your food diary or if you want it to show up in the calorie count, make up a cardiovascular exercise called "Extra cals from yesterday" or something like that and enter the number as calories burned. Whatever works for you :drinker:

Thanks hun. Ive decided to still follow what i did on the other site, so if i do go over one day i wont feel too bad. Ive lost 10lbs so far so it seems to be working. Most of the time im always under my calorie goal.
