im wondering if you can eat too little calories to burn calories if you know what i mean, i know its advised to stay at 1200cals minimum or it can slow your metabolism down but if your working out like never before can this still happen?

    Bump. You read my mind. Because of a 60 min workout today, I have 1,091 calories...and dinner is done.

    Even with working out you need to eat 1200 calories a day......just dont eat back your exercise calories....unless you are hungry.......

    Yes you can the site already works in a deficit, search eating back calories, this is a frequent question, the search results will help :)

    Well I looked at my numbers just now after eating dinner, I keep checking and rechecking to make sure I didn't make a mistake somewhere.. Because it says I've only had barely over 1000 calories for the day, and I'm like almost 1500 under my limit :\ Tack on another 100 for exercising too. I don't know now if I'm meant to find something to eat to make the numbers meet or.. Who would have ever thought I would have this problem LOL

    I think you should eat some extra calories from workouts but if you workout a lot it becomes kind of crazy if dinner is over and you have 1000 left. Just eat when you're hungry, be sensible, eat a little bit extra if you exercise lots, and it should be okay. I think this site sometimes overestimates cals burned.
