House rules

Cap
1,800 calories a day, flat — exercise buys nothing back.
Rollover
Anything under the cap banks for Shabbat. The week's total never grows — the bank just moves calories to where the meals are.
Strikes
Three days off the rules, no questions asked. A fourth is a lost case.
Verification
Honor system. This page is the shared receipt.
Pending clause: does the bank spend on Yom Tov (Rosh Hashanah)? Alex is asking Yadin — proposed: yes.
