:laugh: when you work out like, a lot, you are required to drink your burnt calories. Also, the drink must include vodka or rum and fresh fruit.

since I am a big girl my calorie count is HIGH so I dont eat my workout calories i just try to eat my max calories. If I do go over it is with something of nutritonal value not a snickers bar.

My opinion is to NOT eat the exercise calories if you can help it. Your daily calorie level should be where if you didn't exercise, you would still slowly lose weight. The exercise calories are a bonus to the weight loss effort. Since you have to burn 3500 extra calories to lose one (that's right 1!) pound, I do my best to not consume by exercise calories. However, not always good at that and will sometimes eat some of them; but always aim to have calories left over if possible.

What if I ask in 6.5 hours, and then ask AGAIN in 4 days.. ?

This. I was initially against eating exercise cals but now I just make sure I net @ least 1200 on exercise days. Some days I eat all of my exercise cals and am still losing.

Thank you for that website, you genius. By the way, I doubt you've noticed, but I apologize for deleting you off of my friends list. You're a cool guy, and pretty funny, but dammit your fan club is ridiculous! lol

Then you instantly reach your goal weight, but it has to be exactly 6.5 hours hours and at the exact same time in 4 days when you ask again.

Absolutely not...everybody knows 1200 calories is the magic number!

Okay okay, sorry. I am a fan too. There were just certain people that were ridiculous and the comments were always clogging up my feed. I feel like a **** for deleting him because of his friends, but it really got irksome O.o

To give you an accurate answer it helps to see your diary,and also how accurate your calories burned are! If you burned less calories than you have added ( unknowingly ) because of accuracy being an issue with exercise,you can intact be cheating your diet in a weight loss plan. That being said if you are lean and trying to gain muscle and not worry about losing fat than yes eat them for sure and see where it takes you,but if weight loss is the goal than you want to be care full as to what you eat mixed with the type of exercise you do,if you are on a very low calorie diet ,supplement your diet with something like WHEY ISOLATE PROTEIN SHAKE MIXES,keeping a high protein intake without the excess fats plus the benefits of amino acids to heal worked muscles will help burn fat without the side effect of losing muscle mass which is very common with low mal diets,intact eating the wrong type's of calories,and exercise can burn fat & muscle almost equally,in the end if your fat% far exceeded your lean muscle mass you may lose weight but have the wrong ratio of loss,you only want to burn fat! Not lose muscle!,keep this all in mind as I speak from success within my own diet and am at the point of maintenance & building strength,good luck ,hope I helped a little and ALOHA to you - Keola......my profile is open you can see I was 263 pounds hit my goal within 7 months
