# There is a dispute whether we count a day for the purposes of this halacha starting from the night or starting from the day. The majority of poskim hold that the count of a hundred [[Brachot]] starts at night. <ref> Sh"t Atret Paz 1:1 writes that it seems from most rishonim that we count from the day to the night. However, he writes that it seems from Bet Yosef (46 s.v. “Ditanya”) and Mishna Brurah 46:14 that we count from the night to the day based on the fact that they begin their count of the [[brachot]] from HaMapil. Additionally, Sh"t Betzel Chachmah 4:155 proved from the poskim's counting of the [[brachot]] on [[Shabbat]] that we count from the nighttime. This is also the opinion of Yalkut Yosef 46:3.

* Sefer Ha'itim 195 says that the count starts from the morning and finishes the next morning.  
* Sefer Ha'itim 195 says that the count starts from the morning and finishes the next morning. But he then quotes some who say it is from night to night and he likes that opinion. Torat Chaim Sofer 46:10 writes that if he weren't afraid of the earlier poskim who said it is calculated from night to night he would have thought that the hundred brachot are counted from day to day just like Tefillot are organized starting with Shacharit by day.
* Rav Mordechai Eliyahu (quoted in Mikraei Kodesh Hilchot Yom Kippur 12:5:note 58) holds that one only has the hours of daylight to reach 100 brachot, from the simple meaning of the word “yom.”</ref> If one brought [[shabbat]] in early, there is a discussion among the poskim for which day the berachot count.<ref>  Rabbi Shimon Sofer in Hitorerut Teshuva 3:502 says that the [[berachot]] count for the count of [[shabbat]], while Sh"t Bitzel Hachochma 4:155 says they count for the previous day. According to Rav Stern in Bitzel Hachochma, one would need to make up all [[berachot]] recited before [[shabbat]] starts, including the 7 of the shemoneh esrei and 4 of kriat shema, and if he starts the meal then those [[berachot]] as well. <br />

Regarding Motzaei Shabbat, Chacham Ovadia Yosef (Chazon Ovadia Shabbat vol. 2 pg. 337 and Halichot Olam 1:pg. 59 )says that the birkat hamazon of seudat shlishit counts for Shabbat even if you recite it after Shabbat is over. Shevet Halevi 5:23 and Yalkut Yosef 46:3:4 agree. Minchat Shlomo 2:4:27 argues that birkat hamazon for Seuda Shlishit would count for the night after if it is recited after Shabbat</ref>
