Calories Burned

Hey there,
So I was wondering... When I work out, it makes me extra hungry. Is eating back the calories I burn a good thing or a bad thing?
Thank you for the help/advice :smile: I'm new to this whole weight loss thing.

    I eat back the calories if I am hungry, if not I don't so you probably need to eat them back. Just make healthy choices.

    If you set up MFP right to start with then the daily calorie goal that MFP gives you already has a calorie deficit built in to lose weight. That said, you should eat close to the calorie goal MFP gives you each day including eating back most of your exercise calories.
