Kcals vs Calories
Okay so, I have googled and did a search in MFP to see if I could find anything that helped me understand what exactly a Kcal is. I haven't had luck, or maybe i'm just not understanding.

Weekly Caloric Intake, not just daily.
Quick question guys.. does anyone here not only count their DAILY caloric intake, but weekly also? Say.. you mess up one night and maybe had some pizza, and went over by 300 or so calories.

Herbalife-- Any one ever try this?!
My friend at work LOVES it and swears by it. I feel like drinking two shakes a day, one 100 cal snack, and 1 meal seems super low cal, and of course you would drop weight doing that.... But then again, you could always do one shake a day, two meals... or use the shakes as a snack. Any opinions? Anyone ever try it?
