Im suppose to eat 1410 calories daily however since doing excercise and burning around 400 - 500 calories my calorie intake has gone up to 1900. Ive chosen to eat 1737 calories as i may have got calorie totals wrong or the amount of calories im burning anyways im finding it very hard to eat 1737 calories and have only managed to eat 1300.. would this matter ???

    I would say that it doesn't matter! As long as you're not regularly dipping below the 1,200 calories per day mark, you're pretty good, I'd say! Just do what you can, and if you're not hungry, don't FORCE yourself to eat! But if you want to get in the extra calories, try a handful of cashews or almonds (VERY high calorie foods!), or a tablespoon of peanut butter!

    I try NOT to eat my exercise cals they are an added bonus! and I feel fab knowing I have eaten enough during the day and have extra cals to go to bed with!

    The only thing I try to worry about doing is eating a net of 1200/daily. I don't usually eat back all of my exercise cals, and will sometimes throw in a high calorie reward if I have lots to waste and I'm not very hungry.

    Theres varying opinion on this, but I think you will just need to see what works for you. See how it goes at 1300 for a couple of weeks but i you are not losing you might need to eat more of your exercise calories. I know it sounds mad but if you look around on here you will come across lots of people who have experienced it. Good luck x
