:bigsmile: Ok I have been at a loss about the exercise calories, and i was just kinda staring blankly with a dumbfounded look on my face when it clicked, or at least i think it did.
K so MFP says my daily goal is 1780 at the start of the day.
Then I go and eat 600 calories by noon.
So now MFP says well you should still eat 1180 calories more...
THEN... I go and work out and burn 680 calories.
MFP says hey, well now technically you didnt eat anything cuz you just sat there and exercised the 600 away you did have and now your sitting at -80 calories.
So now, I still have to eat enough to hit my original calorie goal of 1780, otherwise I will have only eaten 1100 calories for the day, which isnt enough to fuel my basic needs...
THEREFORE... I haev to eat my exercise calories!!!! :laugh:
I think i figured this out, now if anyone can tell me where to find 786 more calories I'd appreciate it, cuz Im not hungry at all, lol. :huh:
