    because you're probably exercising and adding to it, so it adds back in your exercise calories burned to ensure you don't have too big a deficit.

    I have been told by several people that we need to eat those extra calories, but I've got to say that I have not lost a single pound in several weeks. Which in turn started me to binge eat at night.

    Hi:
    Worst thing to do is binge eat at night. Try to eat your exercise calories throughout the day or add extra calories to a meal. We all hit a plateau it will pass and you will see results again. Good luck:smile:

    What if I don't eat those extra calories? Does that cause you to not lose the weight? I am exercising every day doing strickly cardio at the time. :huh:
