    Then your daily goal is 1340 net calories per day. When you exercise, you eat more to make sure your net is as close to this as possible each day.

    Ok, so my net calories should be what my daily intake is? So if I work out I should eat back some of the calories to keep it close to the same number??

    Yes, eat back most of those calories you burned.

    Thanks for posting this! I was just about to ask the same question! I however, don't eat back all my exercise calories.

    I run everyday and I eat some of them back sometimes, but never all of them, I guess it just depends on my day :)
