    "Everyone" is a broad scope!

    Everyone who is successfully maintaining weight long term must be eating back their actual exercise calories but might not be eating all of their exercise estimates if you see the distinction.
    I have a big exercise volume and it represents a decent part of my overall needs - roughly 209,000 calories burned last year just from my cycling.

    Personally I have good exercise estimates and ate them back when losing weight too, it made keeping to a sensible deficit much easier having a food allowance boosted by my exercise.

    If you want advice on methods for your exercise (the database here is just one option and often not the best option) then you need to give details about you and your exercise.
