Quiestion about calorie alotment and exercise
I have a 1200 calorie per day goal. However, when I exercise my calorie allotment goes up, due to the amount of calories being used during exercise. Should I still stay on the 1200 calories even if I am burning 500 during my workout? I am a tad confuse about this.
