    you might end up gaining if you only take in 200 calories after burning 1000 on a 1200 cal diet. thats not enough to give your body the fuel it needs to function and your body may start storing calories which leads to weight gain, if im not mistaken. also depends on how often you excercise.

    Let's all take a moment to gasp at the science in this comment. Gaining weight at a net of 200 calories!

    Amen, sister. This thread seems particularly rife with some very questionable information.

    I burn 1000-1300 in a 2 hour workout. Usually, I do a lot of interval running, and a lot of weights. I'd say 1 hour of running and 1 hour of weights. I usually push extra hard once I see that im near 1000, and do more sprints.
