Help..so confused!!!
I've been looking on the internet everywhere but I could find the answer to my question so I figured I would ask you. If I am on a 1200 calorie plan and burn 500 calories do I add that to my 1,200 making it 1700? By doing this am I sabotaging my weight loss?

So far, I'm pretty impressed with the calorie intake guidelines the site has given me.…
