p90x
Hi everyone, I was considering starting the p90x program but don't have a pull up bar or the bands. I do have dumbells that range from 5 lbs to 52.5 lbs.

headaches during cardio

What should i label this workout as?

exercise calories/ net calories/ what the heck????
ok, so I am confused! I use a HRM to calculate my exercise calories and they are very close to what MFP says for the same types of activities (which is great) But what I don't understand is the whole net thing, well actually I do understand it, but something may be wrong.

When we "earn" calories
I don't know what to eat after I've burned calories that I need to eat back! I burn about 450 cal every day (which is over a third of my daily calorie allowance). Shouldn't I get a third more allowance on sugar, carbs, protein, etc? How am I supposed to eat back my calories without going over on everything?
