    I burn through exercise about 1100 calories daily, and I enjoy EATING THEM ALL RIGHT BACK!
    I account for them in my activity settings and exercise log.
    LOVE IT!

    Ditto... I burn 1200 - 2000 calories most days and eat back (85% of my exercise calories) those calories everyday and lose 1 to 2 lbs. a week.... Heck this week alone put me over 300 lbs. lost with a 5 lb. weight loss this week 32 months into my journey.. If you fuel your body it will respond in kind......

    I typically average about 1000 burn calories a day and yes I eat those calories back! I have lost 65 lbs so this seems to be working for me. I am now within 10 lbs of my goal weight.

    I probably burn over 1000 calories 6 days a week with an hour of kickboxing (I underscore it though and log only 880ish worth, just to be on the safe side), so I am in negative calories 6 days. I eat the vast majority of those back, but if I'm not hungry, I won't.

    I lost 4.4 lbs my first week, but gained a pound my second (but lost a total of 3" from my midsection, so who cares what the scale says?!). I have a difficult time eating only 1200 a day on my rest day, so I usually bump my calories to 1400 that day.

    I weigh in on Sunday, so we'll see if I've lost anything (scale weight or inches).

    I'm not huge; only 27 lbs from my goal weight, but kickboxing at full strength is a brutal (but FUN) exercise.
