What percentage should I be eating back on the calories I burn? I Average around burning 600-800 Cals a day

Depends....if you're using MFP exercise numbers...they tend to run high. So maybe 50 or 60%. if you're using a HRM so you're getting very accurate numbers, you can use all of them if you want to.0

Most of them i am using gym equipment numbers, every so often I use MFP0

I played around with this and I settled on 2/3rds, which seems fine. It allows for overestimates on the exercise and the calories.
Plus, I cap my eat-back calories at about 600 per day maximum as eating 2/3rds back on a day when I've supposedly burned, say 1,200 calories on a long hike seems insane...0
