(Probably) a stupid question for those who track calories weekly

Strategies, Advice and Tips

Hey everyone. I weigh myself once a week to prevent myself from obsessing over my weight and I count calories based on weekly totals. Consider the following two scenarios:

Scenario 1: I have been doing it this way: I would “start my week” by counting Monday, weigh in on Friday, then obviously conclude with the weekly total on Sunday.

I’m not sure how I started this way, but I just keep at it since it was how I started.

Scenario 2: I want to change it to starting my counting on Friday, weighing in Friday, and then conclude w/ weekly total on Thursday.

Which scenario sounds best? Let me know!
