How many calories should I be eating????

rmk2311

I have done a lot of research on this topic and I am still baffled.

I am not sure if I need to eat back the calories I am burning from exercise or if I need to eat less to lose weight. I have been doing great with my weight loss but now have hit a plateau. I have never worked out in the past as hard as I am (I am currently training for my first 5k at the end of July) and would have thought my weight would have been dropping off but it hasn't. I am running a lot and am not sure if I eat all the calories back that I burned if it would help my body recover and I would start to lose the weight again.

Please help!!
