If I combine the calories between two days and don't go over the combined TDEE do I break even?

Hey guys, I finally started counting calories religiously and have so far lost about 35 pounds. Im the lightest I've been in years so I'm trying not to mess it up and go backwards.

Right now I need about 1500 Calories to lose weight and 2049 to maintain. Yesterday I ate 1400ish throughout the day but we had leftover costco pizza(my one true weakness) to take home. At around 2 in the morning I caved and ate basically all my 1400 calories for today. I was going to fast the entire day but I did the math and figured that If I combine my TDEE for both today and yesterday I would need to eat at least 4000 calories to gain weight and I had only eaten around 3000. So I decided to get some McDonalds and figured that as long as I didn't reach that 4000 mark, I could break even.

Is this correct? can you combine the total calories between two days and not have it effect your progress so long as your weekly intake is still less than your weekly TDEE?
