A member asked:
Is it healthy to count calories on a weekly basis rather than daily? (and saving calories for certain days of the week.)
A doctor has provided 1 answer
good strategy: It is an excellent strategy to "bank" your calories in anticipation of a special event. Just like you "save up" for a special purchase, you can treat your calorie budget like you would a check book. As long as you keep a reasonable calorie budget week by week, you should be fine.
