Weekly Calorie Distribution Planner
Same weekly total, flexible daily pattern — the weekend-vs-weekday arithmetic done properly.
Energy balance settles over days-to-weeks, not midnight-to-midnight, so banking 160 kcal on weekdays to fund a 400-kcal weekend boost is physiologically sound bookkeeping. Keep the swing sensible: shifting more than ~20% of a day's intake starts feeling like restriction-and-release, which backfires behaviourally.
