    You don't bank calories. They are only for the given day.

    It depends on why you are using MFP. If its weight loss then I would suggest, im no expert, that you eat back some of the calories you burn off the same day, keeping within 10 to 15% of the goal calorie intake.

    Ive never been a great supporter of 'banking' earned calories! Thats the Weightwatchers' way!!! , but they calll them pro points!!

    It would be unwise to do that as you have to make sure that you are eating at least 1200 a day and if you burn 500 your nutrition will suffer.

    You're allegedly supposed to eat back your exercise calories, but it says Im burning way more than I do. No way am I going to eat an additional 1200 calories ... thats a lot of food! I just eat back whatever I need by the end of the day so I'm never hungry.
