I do this. Dont think it matters much in terms of body composition, as long as you dont go extreme (ie. eat nothing one day, average the next two and then twice as much the third). It's so much easier to count this way srs. brb having life, able to eat out np.

Well, I do both because if I'm eating at a surplus of 500 calories and trying to gain a pound a week and my goal target is 2000 daily and my weekly target is 14,000. If I am busy or for some reason cannot hit my 2000 I make it up on another day to contribute to my 14,000. Theoretically since a pound is equal to 3500 calories it doesn't matter when you get that in.

this makes zero sense because in order to track your weekly calories you would need to track your daily calories... are you high op?
regardless, there is a 24 hour anabolic window, thus making it rather important to get your macros in each day in order to grow optimallyMaster total

Does anyone of you count your calories when eating out? E.g, some food doesn't have the nutritional facts listed or do you guys just estimate it?

Recent research by Alan Aragon just says you should have something within 6 hours (before or after) of training... Doesnt really matter untill fasting for more than 24 hours in terms of muscle loss.
By the way, to the idiots who dont seem to understand my point: Eat a bit more some days, eat a bit less some other, make it fit your life schedule, while maintaining the same weekly pr. day average.. -.-Current Lifts

Started as a 120lb skelly, had to count to make sure I got enough in. If I was under one day, the next day I'd try to eat X calories more.
After a while you get a feel for it and counting isn't as needed."There is no reason to be alive if you can't do deadlift."
