"cheat" days

I used the calculator on the site and it says I burn 2,175, not including any extra exercise I do

Ok then depending on your activity level you adjust from there. Remember a few things here. It's not just when you work out at the gym. It's EVERYTHING. It's walking, working at your job, going to the store, taking a shower, sleeping, everything you have to take in consideration.

It makes a difference.

You'd be surprised on what you burn every day.

What is your job?
How long are you training at the gym? What are you doing? Cardio? Lifting? Both?
What do you do after you get home from work? Are you on the computer? Outside playing ball?

hmm, well I have a desk job. So not a whole lot of calories coming from that. I try to do things like push ups and such during breaks.

I actually just got back into working out having lived a lax lifestyle for some months. I generally do walking on certain days, and weight lifting on the other days. Just generally getting back into the swing of things.
