The correct way of calculating it is to use your "departure" date as the day before you arrived in your destination country, regardless of whether the flight landed the same day or not; otherwise you will end up double-counting days (e.g. if you departed and arrived 6 June, it is one day and you can only include it once - e.g. use it for your arrival, as that is what the stamp says).
The same thing applies when arriving back in the UK, even if you arrive back at 23:55, you get to count that day as that will be what your stamp says.
So while you might be losing out when departing on the same day, you will gain that day back when arriving.
