Eating Burned Calories....why?

LoTaylor86

I can't seem to find the answer to this in plain english. Can someone help me? Why should you eat the calories burned in a day. Yesterday I burned 1178....I'm on 1200 calories a day withOUT working out so this is basically ALL of my meals again. Thanks!!

Well in your case if you don't eat them back then your body has no calories to function on. Think about it logically: if you burn every calorie you eat, then what is left for your body to breathe, digest, move, etc. with?

Because it's the only way to maintain a healthy deficit. If you do not eat at least some of your exercise calories back, your deficit will exceed that which is healthy for sustainable weightloss.
