Hi I have just started my fitness pal and coming I the bed of my first week but not sure I am doing it right. I go to the gym around 5 days in the week and mainly do a class of some kind and I add the calories burned to my fitness pal and I do actually usually use these each day when eating is that correct? Or am I not going to lose weight doing this? I am new to the gym too only been going 4 weeks an can see a change in body shape but not weight! I'm confused x

Hiya. My fitness pal will give you a figure of how much you should be eating eg 1200 calories. Each day you should eat 1200 or just below. Doing so, you will lose weight.

Doing exercise can furthermore cause weight loss. Please bear in mind that when you add exercise on, it will tell you you can eat more.

eg you can eat 1200 calories but you burn 300 calories and my fitness pal says you can eat 1500. NO NO. Eat 1200.

Scales are evil! Use clothing and measurement as a guideline.

So don't add my exercise on then or can I add half on because I do struggle on 1200 or will I not lose weight then?

Yes add your exercise on because if you must snack that's a ball park figure to work with. If you are struggling with 1200 maybe the foods you are eating are not sustaining you?

No I don't think they are I need to find more filling foods and drink more!
