    i wish i was more aware of this, at the beginning of my fitness journey! i feel so frustrated by the misinformation we're fed-- esp. women. ugh, the dieting industry now makes me angrier than ever. :(

    Awesome post - thanks for sharing... just out of curiousity (and not that I want to do this) but how in the world do they lose those big numbers on the biggest loser. I don't supposse they are eating back their exercise calories but they consistently do it every single week! I have just been always curious about that because technically they should be plateauing because their body is going into starvation mode for like 4 months!

    I completely agree with everything this woman wrote!!

    I am ALWAYS over my calorie intake that MFP sets for me and its set to maintain my current weight. There is no way I can be happy eating 1690 calories a day and have enough energy to weight lift. Im usally close to 2000 if not more on the days I lift and when I eat back what I burned, I feel great, not deprived. Granted, Im not trying to lose weight and I know everyone is different but I have learned to listen to my body as this woman wrote, eat whats right for me and eat in moderation. and when I want a few extra chewy gooey chips ahoy cookies, then dammit I will eat them!!

    My only thought is that they do not plateau as easily and hit starvation mode as easily since they are so large to begin with...also, you don't see every minute of their days....they might very well be eating back their calories, just in healthier ways than they did before.

    Glad this was shared so that people out there who eat 1200 and exercise will finally maybe hopefully eat back their calories.
