Wanted: Help with learning/living with the proper foods wit

ronnikins

I've committed myself to working out at the gym every weekday morning: Freedom Trainer for shoulders & hips; MWF 45 minutes on treadmill; TTH crunch machines (forward & back), leg press, shoulder press, Eliptical. I also do Zumba 3 times a week.

I don't understand when it tells me I earned extra calories because of my exercise.

I don't know what foods I should add to my days, or change. What would really help me burn my belly fat?

Once I've been walked through, step by step, I feel I can be committed to being healthy, when I finally get it!

Any help in understanding how it all works would be greatly appreciated!

Thank you,
Veronica Worth

It doesnt matter what you eat. Just eat no less than 1200 calories. That is what a body requires to function properly everyday and to lose weight at a healthy pace. You dont have to eat all your exercise calories back but you want to make sure your net calories are at least 1200.:)
