This may seem like a silly question but how do you fill in your excercise cals? I am usually full with my 1200-1300 cals a day. On the days I'm still hungry, I eat more. But If I'm not, i don't and those days are usually 1200 cal days. I'm a HUGE veggie lover but there are only so many cals in the veg! I try to keep my carbs below the MFP allotment and my protein higher.

It depends. I have a tin full of biscuits and I'll have a few of those if I've got the calories spare and don't intend to really treat myself. Otherwise, I'll buy a little chocolate bar or treat myself to a more indulgent evening meal. Usually, it's the biscuits.0

How do I eat my exercise calories?
With a spoon, a fork, or my fingers.0 -

For me full is fine...overly stuffed = bad. But that's just me.0 -
If I'm not hungry, I don't eat them. Or if I have quite a bit leftover for the day I eat a tablespoon or two of peanut butter.0

PB, fruit, nuts, some sort of whole grain... all good options for upping your calorie count.
Food is fuel. You need it.0 -
If I'm not hungry I don't eat them, otherwise I have a protein shake and a little snack of some sort (greek yoghurt, honey and banana, or ryvita / cracker breads and peanut butter)0

this sounds naughty0 -
eat anything that will help you meet your macro and calorie goal. Does not have to be any specific type.0
-
not sure how to explain. just look at my diary. i could eat all day long!0
-
nuts and rasins - shockingly high in cals, very yummy and pretty healthy too.....
Or fruit mixed in high cal yoghurt - There are some really georgous flavours available out ther eif you're not going low fat/low cal
Sandwiches/toast - bread is my achilles heel.0 -
If I've done a big exercise session circuit training or zumba for an hour I have a smoothie straight after - as extra not as a meal replacement, that way my cals are about even.0
-
I plan my day knowing what kind of exercise I'll be doing and what kind of burn I have, so it's never a matter of "eating them back." Just eating.0

Take your veggies and add some full-fat ranch dip mixed 50/50 with Greek yogurt. A tasty calorie boost with a bit of protein. )0

I eat only enough to be at least between 1200-1300 calories. Some days eating back all the calories can be difficult...I find that I can eat all day long with veggies especially so then I get really full quick.
For the most part I usually just have a yogurt in the evening, or if my calories are really low I have been allowing myself a small sugar free pudding or jello. So yummy! Popcorn....even a small slice of whole wheat bread with peanut butter... I also snack on some cheese sometimes too...not a lot, but maybe a cheese string.0 -
I save mine up for the weekend, and swap them for alcohol!0
