Calories aren't really like rollover minutes...you're using dietary calories and calories from blood sugar and body fat simultaneously, all day. Those won't really put you in an extra deficit today, and there's no making up for what you eat or don't eat. Digestion takes hours, and nutrients are all being shuttled around constantly. It's hard to even objectify calories because they aren't 'things', they are just a measurement of energy.

I agree with songbird but at the same time, if you have a day that's somewhat over you can counteract that by burning some extra calories in the days after. Just like our 500 a day calorie deficit adds up to a pound lost after a week you will see the extra working out adding up as well.

I planned on going over my calories on Sunday for the Superbowl and part of that plan was to add some extra time in my workouts over the week and not consume those extra calorie.
