    bump - these responses have been very helpful to me. I'm starting my second week, and I have to say, I have been feeling GREAT when I eat back almost all of my exercise calories. I think my body has been needing some extra, and I hadn't been giving it what it needed....

    I personally always eat back my exercise calories (almost always anyway). Keep in mind MFP will automatically set you up with a 500 calorie deficit, so even you are eating them back if you stay under your target calorie goal you are still creating a calorie deficit.
    How does that actually work?

    People who are in good cardiovascular shape tend to have a lower resting heart rate than they would in poor cardiovascular condition, leading one to assume that poor cardiovascular health = higher RMR. What am I missing?

    Wild guess: people who are in good cardiovascular shape tend to have a higher percentage of muscle mass and more mitochondria?
