wow..this group is really growing..thanks a ton to the person who thought of this...
quick question for all of you...probably asked lot of times before..are you eating back your exercise calories?
I have had a hard time figuring this out....for a long time I just did not log the exercise because I did not want to see it subtracted from my daily calorie count as it would give me a free pass to eat more.
But this is how it is supposed to work (i think)
Say my Basal metabolic rate is 1300 and I sit a lot during thd day so my total daily caloric needs are 1700
To lose 1 lb/ week my caloric intake needs to be 1200
1200 cal is below my BMR , so if I limit my intake this low, my metabolism will shut down to avoid "starvation" (HAHA too bad it won't use the 40,000 calories stored as fat!!)
I need to eat at least 1400 cal to keep my metabolism up, so the other 200 cal need to come from exercise to get me to my wt loss goal - hence the "net calorie" goal.
I still get confused when I look at the various number and have to stop and think about it.
hope this helps, whoul live tohear other perspectives0 -

My downfall is fast food.
I'm not a tea drinker, but I have become one. When I get hungry, I drink a cup of hot tea. It seems to take the hunger away for awhile.
I have foods that are quick and easy to prepare.0 -
