Maybe a stupid question, so feel free to roast if warranted.

I've started calorie tracking via the My Fitness Pal app. Hate doing this, but since parenthood hit, I've only really been able to exercise enough to just maintain my current weight of 205 (I'm 6'1''). Decided I wanted to get down to 190 by continuing my same exercise regimen but changing my diet up a bit, particularly with calorie counting.

My question is do I "accrue" calories unused each day so that I have an effective balance at the end of each week? Let's say my daily calorie goal is 2,000 and I only put in 1,800, giving me 200 remaining. If I do that daily Monday-Friday, does that give me an extra 1,000 calories to play with (drink bourbon) on Saturday?

I realize that's probably a stupid question to some of you, but I've had mixed opinions from research online and questions to friends, so I thought I'd see what you all think.
