I have had success with both WW and MFP and am currently tracking both. I have a question for those of you that have done both in regards to exercise points and exercise calories.

For example, when I eat back ALL exercise calories using MFP it exceeds (almost by double) the amount of activity points that I earned. So, personally, I cant get over the fact that I feel like I am overeatting on MFP? Does anyone else have this issue?

    hi,

    Iv not done WW but just wanted to ask, how are yout getting your exercise calories?

    if you are putting in to MFP and taking what they say you burned its probably a high estimates, everyone on here says if you are going via MFP burn count you should only eat 50-60% back

    I use a Polar FT7 heart rate monitor and then account for a 20% margin of error.
