Im totally confused helppppppppppppppppp

geminisam

Ive started my first day on here today and my calorie allowance is 1620 a day,do i eat what i use for exercise or not please?

yep..eatem up !

YES - the more you exercise, the more you are allowed to eat. They will keep your calories left for the day updated.

Im new but everyone says you are suppose to eat what you burn but Idont really understand why?? I thought working out and burning calories was the idea so why do we eat back what we just worked off ... Im still confused on it!

Im not sure of the last part of your question but if your calories are 1620, you need to stay with in that amount. If you were to excercise that day and you burn enough calories sometimes they will give you bonus calories like 250 adde don to that... But keep track of water excercise under track food and track excercise. If you have a cup of coffee type in the coffee but also type in creamer or sugar and ho wmuch. If you have a wrap dont for gets the veggies and mayo if you use it. If you need more help just message....... Youve registered so thats a great start!!!

There's a big debate about it on here - personally, I rarely eat any of my exercise calories and I've lost weight that way, so I guess it depends on what's suitable for you and your body type/exercise regime/appetite/metabolism, etc.

good question , I don"t know , I do know that when I am over my allowed calories ,when I exercise it brings my total down , I was always told you have to burn carlories to loose weight ,so I am really glad you asked the question , sorrry i am no help but thanks for bring the question up .,
