For the people who eat back half.. Is that in addition to your daily calorie goal?

My goal is 1500. I sometimes burn 800 cals in a day. Should I be eating 1500 + 400? Or is it ok to have 1200 + 400? I ask because sometimes I have a net around 700 and I notice my weightloss has slowed down.

    I would stay with 1500 + 400, any lower you may face starvation mode

    If your goal is 1500 and you burn 800, you need to eat 2300 for that day.

    Only if you know for sure that your burning 800 cals, if your not using a HRM with a chest strap that could be incorrect

    My goal is 1370 and if I burn a lot I at least eat half back. If I only burn a little like today I burned 300, I will only eat back enough to get me to at least 1200 net. Unless I am really hungry.
