My calorie intake is 1200 perday.
So if i burn 900calories on the elliptical I can eat excess of 700-900 calories during the day.
Also I read somewhere exercise until muscle sore is good which means I am building muscle.

wait, you think you are putting on muscle mass while eating in a deficit doing cardio????

Well, to a certain extent she is. Even walking can build/strengthen muscles for somebody who is severely out of shape. It won't be much, granted, but if your baseline is negative even getting back to zero counts as a gain.

Actually I did saw some people who gained feet muscle after a lot of running. So basically cardio does help you built muscle but not as effective as weightlifting and took a very long time.

LOL, I think we've all been there, I'll easily consume 1,000 cal for breakfast in the latter stages of a training plan & I'm pretty sure if I didn't run I'd weigh 400 lbs but the potential downside in this type of thinking is that you may be overestimating your caloric expenditure (most cardio machines significantly overstate the burn) and underestimating your intake (there is a tendency for people to underestimate portion sizes etc unless you are diligently weighing and measuring every morsel you consume) and burning 10 cal/minute on an elliptical requires a pretty grueling workout...

Unless you're training for a specific event (or doing something that you really love doing like a long bike ride on a weekend) there is no compelling reason for extremely long workouts. In respect to improved cardiovascular health there are diminishing returns at the same time you are significantly increasing your risk of an overuse injury.
