so many cals left at the end of the day, should i still exer

ashley_h10

hi i was wondering if anyone thinks its a bad idea for me to skip my exercise tonite? Its 9pm and i have had breakfast, luch and dinner today and i still have 860 cals left to consume...should i exercise making more of a cal defecit or should i just lay off and make sure i use up my allotted cals tmw?

I dont normally do this (have too many cals left over) i guess i just made really good choices today (filling and low cal) I realize that if i dont eat enough cals i will ruin my metabolism, so i must reitterate that i do know this and im not doing this on purpose, im a firm believer in eating ALL of my cals all the time

Note: im breastfeeding so i add an extra 500 cals on my daily intake of 1400 (making 1900 total)

soooo...should i skip the exercise tonite?

Thanks a million

Exercise and snack. Have some peanut butter or an avocado on wholemeal bread.

avocado on wholemeal bread? Sounds good never tried it tho.

I agree, do your exercise but eat a healthy snack with some good calorie dense fats and protein.

You will probably be super hungry in the morning!!!

Remember that exercise doesn't just burn calories, it also winds up your metabolism for a little while (sometimes a long while) after doing it. So even if you have calories left, try to get in a workout. Cardio and weight training both keep your metabolism going, so grab an egg or a chicken breast. Avoid sugars but not all carbs (your brain uses carbs to process information). Peanut butter on whole grain bread is a great snack, as others mentioned. Throw some raisins on there. Keep it fun so you'll want to do it again the next day.
