Hi all!

What do you guys normally do? Eat back all of your exercise calories on that day? Don't eat them back? Have a rest day and stay at the minimum or if your weekly average is way under go over calories for that day?

Example, MFP has me at 1200 cals; I workout 5-6 days a week and on average burn 300-500 calories when working out. Workout days I am generally eating around 1500 calories. I am losing steadily. Rest days are a struggle for me though because I'm usually really hungry at 1200 calories.

I have about 5-7 pounds to lose , so not much.

Thanks!

    I just changed mine to lose .5lbs since I am really "done" losing and it gave me 1570 a day so I think you're safe having an extra snack on rest day. I know your rest days are active too.

    Thanks friend :) I am starving today so I'm listening and eating and I know I'll be over my "daily" today. But I will still be under for the week.
