SORRRRRRYYY. People don't want to waste time posting every single exercise calorie link on MFP. It's not because we think we're witty -- it's just easier to post a single link... which is why taso42 created it in the first place. We're all a bit sick of the "should i eat my exercise calories back?" posts. Let's not be rude though. There was absolutely no point in "dissing" the site. (Especially five minutes after it's already been posted and the OP has probably already checked it out... You just wasted even more of your time.)

I did not diss the site I thought it was pretty funny the first 2 times I saw it,by the 50 millionth time not so much.I also could not care less if you think im being rude,not what I was going for (but I still do not care if thats how I came across) The site comes off as a joke,the first time I saw it I did not go beyond the yes.Im sure im not the only one.Why not just reply with a yes and leave it at that then.Those that are soooo sick of the should I eat my exercise calorie topics should just ignore them then.IMO

Professional athletes have to eat more because they have no energy/fat stores so all there energy comes from food unlike the majority of us that have calorie reserves ie (fat). Michael Phelps ate 10,000 calories a day during the Olympics and thats almost 5 days worth of food for many of us. As long as you have fat around your belly, thighs, rear end you have stored excess energy. It's not until you reach a very low level of body fat that you should even consider eating exercise calories. How many here are professional athletes? I know i'm not. Your body will tell you when it needs fed. When i'm hungry i feed myself. When i'm not i don't. I simply wont just eat because my numbers say i should to achieve a net calorie goal and i'm far from starving.

My BMR is like 1900 calories a day if all i do was lay around which i don't. I eat 1500-2000 a day on average and consume ALOT of food. I eat way more now the before i started eating healthy. I ate Subway 6" Club sandwich today for supper but skipped the chips. Less then an hour later i had 2 cups of watermelon followed by 1/4 cup of pistachios followed by a cup of Kashi Autumn Wheat cereal with milk before my hunger was extinquished. I'm done eating for the evening i answered my body's call for nourishment. My point in all this?

It's armchair nutrition to tell somebody to eat back exercise calores to achieve a net caloric intake goal. The simple undeniable truth is in order to lose you have to burn more calories then you consume in a given day. Many things affect a persons ability to burn calories. 7 simple words EAT TO LIVE not LIVE TO EAT. Good luck.

in bank's post, about "the keys to a calorie deficit" or something like that. That is inaccurate information. The second to last post on his topic was mine dis proven what he has said.

ladyhawk's post is also inaccurate. She says The body slows down it's metabolic rate first if adequate energy(calories) aren't met.

I already posted a link on this topic that dismisses caloric needs. People where eating 800 calories a day without muscle loss. That is "inadequate" calories... with no loss in metabolic rate.

Bank's other post, "eating when you're not hungry" I do agree that hunger can be misinterpreted. People think "hunger is bad" here are the facts about hunger, it's a form of stress, when stress is precieved by the body, GH is released, it BURNS FAT and preserves muscle mass. On the other hand, it keeps your metabolism in a fat burning mode. Because glucagon is high, which is a fat releasing hormone. I am talking about this post.

Eating is deter mental to weight loss. I am not saying don't eat, that is unhealthy. I am saying, if you're not hungry don't eat. Eating causes your body to store fat, due to an increase of insulin, which stores glucose in the muscle or fat. Every time you eat you raise insulin. You really want to shut down your fat burning abilities by eating??? the obvious answer is "no".

Thanks...I am of the mindset, you eat good healthy food. If you do this and exercise you will lose.
