Can you lose as much weight by calculating your net calories over a week? So if one day you go over by 500 then the next day under by 500 (by doing exercise)

    Of course!

    The body doesn't reset its clock at midnight. I never worry about daily fluctuations, preferring to target a weekly total.

    Although not good for others who feel the need to stay under goal each day, it certainly works best for me.

    Yes, it is an ongoing, never ending, life long, +/- issue.
