should I be more concerned about my weekly calorie intake or my daily calorie intake?

    That is completely up to you. Some people prefer weekly calories, some people prefer daily.

    Oh so there is no right or wrong way to look at it then as long as your within you're intake! It's just sum days I eat less and was wondering is it ok to eat more on other days

    yes, as long as your math skills are good :)

    Basic subtraction and addition are considered good? I fear for our future.

    It's only a bit of multiplication, addition and perhaps subtraction. I don't think that's particularly hard and I suck at maths.

    Technically correct because it's possessive not plural. Well played.

    I tend to average calories over the week. But it's really a matter of personal preference.

    isn't the apostrophe meant to replace a letter? Making that "Worldis" i suppose the Apostrophe could go on the other side like " Worlds' " lol

    Is English perhaps not your first language? I would hate to be insensitive if that's the case.

    Off of grammar for a second, I've been wondering - how do you get the MFP website to calculate average weekly calories? I seem to be only able to get the app to do that.

    I just look at how much over/under I am or use a calculator. Unfortunately the site doesn't actually do anything useful with weekly averages.

    I still have no clue why the app and website have some completely different features for no reason...

    Hi!

    I think daily would be more critical.

    I lost about 20kg over a period of 4 months. 1st 10kg was over a shorter period of time vs the next 10kg. With the 2nd 10kg, I found that by just shifting about 20-40% of my calorie intake from dinner to breakfast and lunch made more a of difference then spreading out the calorie count over the day or the week.
