Is there any way to carry over exercise calories from one day to the next? For example, if I'm trying to maintain and I earn 1000 carries from jogging but I'm not hungry today, how do I get these calories to carry over to another day that i am hungry?

    Your body doesnt really go by the day it can be your total for the week

    They just carry over. You can go by calories for the week if you want.

    If you want to show the math day by day, you could create a "food" called "saving calories" and add it to your foods on the days when you have excess calories, and create an "exercise" called "using saved calories" and record that as an exercise on the day you want to be able to use up those calories, or something like that.

    I wouldn't do that, because then your actual exercise/food data gets muddied, and I like clean data. I'd just use weekly calories, as others have suggested. You can see them in the nutrition link in the phone app, or the weekly digest in the reports section of the web app.

    Click the circle pie chart emblem in the diary section. This will give you a weekly summary. You can toggle between net and total calories. It gives you your weekly deficit (and a ton of other great information!)

    All that being said. 1000 calories is a lot of mileage. I'd check that math against the runners world calculator.

    I only used that 1000 calories from jogging as an example.
