Do the contestants on The Biggest Loser eat all of THEIR exercise calories? They are so intent on low cal meals, but they are constantly working off calories.......so Im wondering what kind of deficit they actually have, theres no way that they could eat that much food, right?

    I agree. There's no way they eat that many calories. Im interested in knowing about that too.

    I believe I heard at one time for men it was 1600-1800 hundred calories in a day with a burn off of 5,000 calories. For women it was 1200 calories in and a 3,000 calorie burn off.

    There is no possible way they are eating all of those calories back, especially in the beginning. It would be impossible with the double digit weight loss most of them see per week.

    Idk. On the game it has me at almost 1700 cals a day. And doesn't count my exercise against my allowed cals. Kinda confuses me so I'm sticking to mfp plan while playing.
