Is it OK to stay under your calorie goal for the week vs for the day? If I am over 1 day but under another, will I most likely get the same results?

    Some days you will be over some days under, as long as your average for the week is within range then I don't see how that would be a problem or hinder your weight loss.

    Yes, as long as your weekly stays under. Many people agree that zig zagging calories like that is actually better. I am trying it myself to see how it goes.

    Although I'm on maintenance now, I actually go by weekly and not daily (net calories). I count daily, but it's the weekly total I aim for.

    Some days I'm really hungry, other days not as much. It's more important to listen to your body than trying to reach a certain number.
