    Calorie variation?

    I was wondering if I can vary my calories on certain days? Im shooting for 3000 calories a day which in essense is 21000 calories a week. Plus however many calories my cheat meal is...

    Lets say today I only got 2600 cause I had a few smaller meals. For the next two days can I have 3200 to make up for the 400 calories less today? Or does the body not work like that?

    Today was chest and suprisingly on 400 calories less I felt great. One of my best chest workouts in a while, go figure?

    Variation in calorie levels is fine and can actually be a good thing and just as long as, over time, your calories are hypercalorific then you will progress.
