Haven't made a trip home to get my New HRM Polar :) Dad brought it, my catch to getting it is to drive home, but I'm at school and have no time...anddd I start 30DS today..Should I not worry about the calories I burn from the 30DS? This is my cardio to take off inches, on top of my hour at the gym (7days a week). Sooo would it be a good thing to not worry or should I make a guess? Also I'm not eating the full 1200 cal <<and since I'm starting the 30DS on top of hour at gym. Should I start eating the full 1200 cal or stay with my 900+ or max at 1000?

    I've read that your body needs 1200 calories a day to function properly. So I would definitely eat 1200 calories especially if you work out.

    First off I would definitely eat the 1200 calories since you are working out twice daily.
    Second off, I log the 30 day shred under circuit training and it gives me around 185 per 20 minutes.
    Hope that helps.

    also you need to eat more then 1200 if you are doing excersies as well I make sure that I net over 1200 a day, meaning I eat back all my excersie calories

    It's important to eat your excersize calories to fuel your body! When I fist saw ppl say this I hesitated but after trial and error I was able to lose more doing this! I have 7 days left of the Shred and I've lost 15lbs and 2 pant sizes

    Well wouldn't that be like maintaining your size that you have?

    Well the trainer told me to never eat my workout calories. Its not going to lose anything but I will maintain <<<so I'm confused about that!!!!

    Nope! The 1200 is already calculated with a calorie deficit so that you'll lose weight.
