My calories have been 300-400 more than my goal. Should I start striving to do the 150 minutes now and not care if I go over my calorie burn goal…

Those with fibromyalgia...have you tried?

How should I track P90X on my exercise diary?
P90X states you burn approx. 600 calories on the exercises and that's what they advise to add to your calories each day you do it. So my question is - should I add my own exercise for 600 calories OR find the exercise category already provided by MyFitnessPal and follow that? The reason I ask is the strength training only…
