Can you carry forward spare calories?

Yesterday I put a serious shift in at the gym, ate as much as I could comfortably manage and still had 1000 cals left at the end of the day, today is a rest day and I have eaten my daily allowance yet I still feel snacky, is it ok to carry over yesterdays spare cals into today or will that do more harm than good?

    Yes you can carry them over until today. Some people prefer not to, but I don't pay as much attention to the daily goal as I do to hitting my weekly goal.

    Yes, the MFP program works weekly. So, I try to save up a deficit so on Sunday, I can have a little extra something.
