"Average Calories per Day" stat - is this a thing?

I often take all my calories consumed for a certain time period and average them out (some days I eat 1k cals, some days I eat 3k, it's just how my life goes)...but I'm getting tired of manually doing it, is there a stats page I don't know about??

    Doesn't mfp have a calorie goal set up for you?

    What are you trying to achieve? Weight loss? Maintenance? Weight gain?

    As far as your question goes, you can go under 'nutrition' and then go under the 'weekly' tab and it will show you how many calories you are under/over your goal

    There is on the Android App.

    Go to the "Nutrition" tab and select "Weekly View".

    It tells you your average net calories per day and how many you have left for the week.

    It's about the only thing I take note of if I am calorie counting as I'm not really fussed about the day to day numbers but rather making sure the weekly target gets met.

    So, you might find the graph on the phone app useful. On the android app, you'd go to Nutrition in the hamburger menu>> Calories >> Week view...from there you'd probably like the Net option
