When the plan changes
Eating more, moving differently or changing your goals can change the days left in your week. Norman shows the effect and keeps your choices visible. One day does not ruin the week.
A simple example
If a finished day falls short of its planned energy gap, Week lets you review the open-day adjustment, choose days or keep your food plan and accept a different forecast.
Your next step
Log honestly, review the day, then open Week to choose what feels manageable. Keep regular meals. Saved recovery choices have undo controls.
A little more detail
Closing a day uses its final logged food and movement rather than its unfinished activity plan. The engine reconciles that day with the open days. Moving or banking extra estimated burn changes the plan; it is not a second reward on top of calories already added.
Questions you might have
Why did my allowance change?
Check Week’s plan changes and personal math. Updated steps, completed or missed workouts, food on a closed day, a saved shift or edited goals can change the forecast. Norman uses the same saved records across screens.
What if I overate yesterday or exceeded today’s guide?
Log what you ate, then return to regular meals. If the day is still open, its result is not final. After close-out, review the options in Week; keeping a smaller forecast deficit is allowed.
What if I miss a workout?
Record that it was not completed. Planned burn is no longer treated as done. Your food guide or weekly forecast may change. You can plan another workout if you want, not as punishment.
What does banking unused calories mean?
In Norman, banking extra estimated movement means choosing not to add that energy back to food. It changes your weekly forecast. Unused food is not money you must save; hunger and adequate nutrition matter.
What if I am over my weekly allowance?
That may mean a smaller deficit or an estimated surplus, depending on actual movement. Review the full weekly math, not food alone. Do not crash diet; keep going with a manageable plan.
Should I skip breakfast tomorrow after too much food today?
No. Skipping meals as punishment can lead to distress and stronger hunger. Eat a normal breakfast if hungry, log it and review a realistic plan for the days ahead.
