Do you prefer eating more and exercising more?


Or do very little exercise whilst eating less?

Just want to know how you all go about it. ^u^

    I exercise as much as I need to in order to get the work done --ALL of my exercise is farm work, gardening, taking care of horses, haying, etc., no gym type exercising at all--and I eat whatever I want to. Works for me.

    I exercise so I can eat whatever I want (within reason ... everthing in moderation of course lol)

    I love food :love:

    I am training for a specific goal, so I eat according to the training I am doing at the moment.

    It depends. If my back feels like it has a holy spike of hell stuck in it, I don't exercise at all and I eat much less.

    If it's so-so I get do a 20 minute walk and the rest from calorie restriction.

    If I'm feeling like a shiny new penny, I can pile up 800 calories in exercise and eat more of what I want.

    I am learning to enjoy the exercise part again, so many years away from it and now it's great to be back. The eating part is a bonus after a hard workout.

    I train in order to achieve performance related goals rather than weightloss.

    I organise my nutrition to support that.

    I eat delicious & nutritional foods in quantities that support whatever activity level I have at the time. Usually its a rather active life, with occasional brief times off.

    I am not a big exerciser, some walking and swimming every week. I guess I prefer to eat a little less than to do a lot of exercising.

    I'd more describe myself as a full time professional/mom.

    The suggested minimum of exercise is 30 minutes of vigorous physical activity five times a week. I run about 2.5 hours a week (I want to build up to 4 hours, so I can be fit to run a 10k whenever I want). I also to 20-30 minutes of body weight training three times a week so I can be strong for my kids and avoid running injury.

    This gives me enough calories to easily meet my nutritional needs and not worry about the occasional splurge.

    This or at least I try to do this.
