    It says I'm burning 800 calories by doing 60 minutes of circuit training but idk if I believe that. I'm 5'10" and 229 lbs,



    For your weight that seems about right to me. Best way to know is to get a HRM. I found MFP underestimated calories burned in comparison.

    That's why I wrote 'she burned'. She is shorter than I am, but we have roughly the same BMI and we're at the same level of fitness. I weigh more so maybe I burn more? Either way, I don't eat back exercise calories so it doesn't really matter in theory if I log 1000 calories lol.

    Actually, it could matter quite a bit. You can die from not eating enough.

    Wut? TIL that if you don't log your burn you gonna be ded. :confounded:

    Many people here do not eat back their exercise calories because either there already included it in an activity level or, like me, work off a fixed TDEE method and only eat back exceptional burns...

    We aren't going to die from not eating enough.

    If you are working on a plan that doesn't include eating back calories, it doesn't matter if you log 1 or 1000 cals.

    Thank you :). I was worried I'd accidentally typed earlier in another language and my point wasn't understood!
