    Question for everyone, with as many calories as we burn in a workout, do you all enter in all of those in mfp? I find that to be a lot of calories to add to eat in a day. Especially because once I hit my goal weight I probably won't be working out quite as frequently so I don't want to get to accustomed to rating that many calories. What has everyone else been doing and what kind of results? Curious what has worked out best for others

    My philosophy is if you are at goal weight, you can use those extra calories but not on a consistent basis. Maybe 3 times a week, use those extra calories.
    If you are trying to lose, I wouldn't eat them back at all but make sure the calories you do eat are SUPER HIGH in protein otherwise you will lose the muscle you're are trying so hard to build.
    But here's the problem. If you are eating too little for your activity level, you run the risk of slowing your metabolism. So what it comes down to is just use them if you are feeling really really hungry. If you're doing high protein though, you shouldn't be feeling famished. Eat small amounts frequently. And if you are working out a lot, take BCAAs. They help me tremendously with recovery...but not only that, they help me not crave sweets and decrease my appetite.
    Look up the group OTF Fanatics on Facebook. There's not a lot of people yet but I'm getting people on board.
