shickam062604

I am 26, female,170 lbs and eating 1,260 calories a day. Just curious where you are at? Also. do you eat back your burn calories?

i eat back my burn, and i (in theory) have a goal of 1250 calories, but usually actually eat (with burn and everything) about 1700

1600 net, so yes, I eat my exercise calories.

I'm 22 and I allow myself 1500 but I usually eat about 1250 to 1350. I don't eat back my exercise cals.

I usually eat between 1200 and 1500 cals a day. Whether I eat back what I burned that day or not usually just depends on how I feel. If I am hungry and it's not too late at night, I do. If I am not hungry, I don't.

If I had my goal set to lose 2 pounds/week, I would probably extinct. I'm 29, 131lbs and 5'6''. My goal is set to 1200, which is maybe half a pound per week and I eat back only part of my exercise calories. I try not to have a deficit daily from the goal more than 200 calories. I still lost weight.

1200 cals but I usually eat 1400-1500 cals per day (so 200-300 exercise cals that I eat back)

Breadoholic

1200 a day but sometimes - like tonight - I eat up to 1800 :P I gather it won't hurt too much once a week. We all need a break every once in a while.

I'm 52yrs old, 5'7"....my daily allowed intake is 1400 cals. I don't eat my burned back,
and most of the time I don't eat all of my 1400 cals. I'm training for a sprint tri and
try to eat lean protein, veggies and complex carbs.

Good Luck with your plan!

I am 55, 5'4", weigh 155 and eat 1,200 calories a day, on average, which is my suggested MFP calorie goal. I sometimes eat a portion of my exercise calories, but try not to eat more than half of them.

I'm 121lb, small boned, 51yo, and I'm eating 1000-1100 cal/day. I always eat all of my exercise calories. I'm about to my goal and not losing much anymore.

cramernh

1600 calories/120g carbs daily under the care of an Endocrinologist.

Any exercise-food calories earned - it really depends on whether or not Im actually hungry... .If I am, I will have a protein smoothie using Designer Whey, if not, I usually fill up on water...

UpEarly

My base calorie goal is 1720, but I usually end up eating between 2000-2100 after my exercise calories are added in. I would die if my calorie goal was 1200! LOL

Niveous

I'm 178 lbs and 5'11". I net between 1800-2000 calories a day and I eat anywhere between 2,000-2,600 calories a day. I eat back all of my exercise calories.

twocsmom

My goal is 1200 but when you add back in the exercise calories I can go up to at least 1800 on any given day. I usually stay around1250-1400.

Rae6503

I was netting 2000 calories a day and losing about a half pound a week, so yeah, eating exercise calories.

Now I'm kind of trying to maintain but not really trying to hard (eating more, often) and I'm not sure what my maintenance level is...

sunkisses

1,220 and I can't wait to exercise so I can eat more.
