Calorie Rollover Rule
A calorie rollover rule caps how daily surplus or savings carry forward inside the week—written limits beat mental math after social meals.
A calorie rollover rule defines how many unused or excess daily calories can move to the next day—usually capped inside the same week and documented so banking does not become unconscious eating. Example rule: up to two hundred calories may roll once; surplus above that is gone, not debt for tomorrow.
Written rules beat mental math after wine. Pair with weekly budget totals.
Common questions
-
Should negative rollover punish tomorrow if you overate?
Many coaches trim the next day slightly within the weekly cap rather than starvation payback. Punitive rollovers increase binge risk—adjust the week average instead.
