in Goal: Maintaining Weight
I am inching so close to maintenance that I have started thinking about it. Do you all eat back your exercise calories when you are maintaining? It makes sense to me that you would since you aren't looking for a deficit anymore but I was just curious what people who are already there do. Thanks!

    I have MFP select my calories based on sedentary and working out 5 days 60 minutes each day. I then log my exercise based on my HRM. I also have a Fitbit linked to MFP. So far so good. I do eat my exercise calories back. Always has worked for me. Good Luck!
