    April 4

    Exercised: 30K steps (including 21 minutes run/walk intervals) + 56 minutes Ballet Stretch & Strength
    Calories: Yes
    Tracked: Yes

    I rarely eat back exercise calories, just set my own calorie goal that’s more like TDEE - X%. (I generally assume that I’ve actually eaten more calories and burned fewer calories than logged estimates, no matter how carefully I’m tracking.)

    Exercise: yes
    Calories: yes (240 under...might add a cookie :3 )
    Tracked: yes

    I always assumed you do eat back calories from exercise because you’re already at a deficit (if losing weight) and that would just put you at an even further deficit which honestly sounds miserable. Then again....my supposed 1lb/week loss isn’t happening so maybe I should rethink my methods. And that cookie.

    Yes x 3 :) I didn't want to and definitely made some poor choices... I think I have a tooth infection and I just want to die at this point from the pain! Dentist on Wednesday can't come soon enough ☹️

    Yes. My lunch time walk required an umbrella today. 30 minutes in a light mist. I kind of liked it.

    Did I stay within my calorie budget for the day? Yes! With plenty to spare.

    Did I keep track of everything I ate and drank? Yes! I’m usually getting lax about logging by Thursday. But this challenge is really motivating me.

    Another rare day in which MFP told me that I did not eat enough. That is not my usual pattern.
    Tracking: easy
    Calories: too far under my limit
    Exercise: 21 minutes of Pilates, then, 27 minutes of treadmill walking at 4 mph

    Pre-logging is how I figure out all my eating post lunch. I log bf and lunch as I’m
    Preparing them.

    Pre-logging is Magic! Once I thought of it, I wondered why I hadn’t been doing it all along!

    My Apple Watch calculates my Energy (Active + Resting Energy) each day & my FITIV app subtracts my Calories Eaten from that.

    I find if I keep my deficit at zero I lose weight. If I keep it higher, I lose more!

    Yes x3. Long day of travelling. One flight was delayed so I logged almost 10,000 steps walking laps in the airport.

    Planned pass day for Thursday. Last day of vacation, wanted to indulge a bit more. Still tracked all I could.

    I am still trying to loose about 25 more pounds, so in general I don't eat back exercise calories. If I do, it's a planned thing in a weekend or occasion when I need those extra calories in my "daily budget." Or, if I have a day if intense exercise I just might need more fuel.
