==How is a day counted?==
# There is a dispute whether we count a day for the purposes of this halacha from night to day or day to night, however the majority of poskim hold that we count from night to day. <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 and Mishna Brurah 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 proved from the poskim's counting of the brachot on [[Shabbat]] that we count from the nighttime. </ref>

Additionally, Sh"t Betzel Chachmah 4:155 proved from the poskim's counting of the brachot on [[Shabbat]] that we count from the nighttime. Sefer Ha'itim 195 says that the count starts from the morning and finishes the next morning. If one brought shabbat in early Rabbi Shimon Sofer in Hitorerut Teshuva 3:502 says that the berachot count for the count of shabbat, whole 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. </ref>
