    A lot of people are going to tell you you have to eat them, or that you shouldn't.

    My opinion? You need to find out what works for you! If you're really hungry eat some of them back! Or try a week of two of eating half of them back and a week or two of not eating them back and see what makes you feel better, what helps your weight loss etc.

    Everybody is different, i find that if i dont eat to at least within a hundred of my goal i dont tend to lose as much as when i do.
  • Normally, if I feel hungry then I eat. If I don't feel hungry then I don't bother :smile:

    The way MFP is designed to work, you should eat your exercise calories. However, some readings may be a bit inaccurate, so some people choose to eat half or just some of them.

    When I do a huge workout like that, I don't tend to eat all my calories. I leave some in case I've miscalculated my calories and some for the next day. I find the next day, I'm famished.
