To answer your question, yes you can bank calories. Should you? IMO, no. If your goal is to maintain your weight, you should be eating as many calories as possible to do so, especially given your activity (btw, 1.5 hours of treadmill every weekday is excessive). As stated above, there isn't any praise in undereating. Why adapt your metabolism to lower calories when you can eat more and maintain?0

Every weekday I'm on treadmill going 3.1 mph at 10% incline for 1.5 hours burning 345 calories and for 1 hour on weekends burning 220. Last night my husband and I went out because he surprised me and I overate 1800 calories so 3300 calories would on weekdays I technically be eating 1200 and on weekends if I include what I burned just ate back the burned calories? And according to scoobys workshop http://scoobysworkshop.com/accurate-calorie-calculator/ my maintanence is 1650 calories. How many calories have I banked and is it ok to eat those back if I saved them up for one day or one weekend?
Not to be snarky but why not move from treadmill to elliptical? I burned 400 calories in 21.5 minutes last night. Just saying. . . . .0 -
The OP is underweight, please stop enabling her
She needs to be getting help with her obsessive eating disorder
She is a beautiful woman and her life could be so much better if she could get the right help to overcome this
Imagine not actually worrying about this, imagine being strong and healthy, enjoying your marriage, having a family
Take that step and speak to your doctor and get better.0 -

There is no way you burned 400 calories on an elliptical in 21.5 minutes. That would be almost 1200 per hour.
