I'm getting ready to go work out for 60 min! Going to eat right and walk on my lunch break at work!! I need to figure out my food for today (will post later).
Question: I see this a lot "Lose weight by burning 500 calories more a day than you eat" "
So if I eat 1200 cals I need to burn 1700...that's what I'm getting from this....???
