Eating Back Exercise Calories

fitnesskris88

Do you eat them back or no?

YEs. The MFP model gives you a goal that plans for your weight loss.

That said most methods of measuring exercise calories are prone to some error so many only eat back a proportion to account for the errors.

Yes, a lot of people say to not eat them all back depending on how yours are being calculated, but if i'm hungry i do. I'd rather go over by 100 calories now than be starving the next day and binge and eat 500 more calories.
So, yes, I eat them back.
