I Burn more Calories than what I eat...Help!!!

As long as you at least get to the minimum 1200, it's not a huge deal. If you are burning a ton of calories (like 1000+), it wouldn't hurt to go above that, but I have seen a lot of people on here who don't eat their exercise calories back. But it is important to meet your minimum, because otherwise your body goes into starvation mode and actually conserves calories instead of burning them and you won't lose weight that way.

But remember, don't just eat something to get to your 1200. That's great if you eat healthy up to 1000, but then if you add a chocolate bar just to get to 1200, that's not good. Make sure you are not eating empty calories.

I would try a protein shake or something after a workout. Or like one of those specialty juice places where you can add a booster supplement to it. Protein is great for building muscle after a workout.

I agree with whoever said eat nuts - those are great for being good fats, and they fill you up.

Good luck!
