Exactly HOW do you eat your excercise calories

On exercise days I usually treat myself with a piece of candy (60cals) and milk to fill up the rest of the calories I need

I've been working on upping my calories, both my net and doing better about eating back all my exercise calories. I have to admit, it's a struggle because even when gaining weight, I never ate big quantities of food. Never could eat as much at a sitting as many people. Example, I may have eaten my share of Big Mac's but I never could eat more than a few fries with it.

Anyway, I don't necessarily eat them all on the same day. I like to save calories to eat later that week for extra special indulgences. But whenever I eat them, I usually have to do it with calorie-dense items like pizza, burgers, baked goods, ice cream, etc. I find it very hard to do if I'm trying to stay with healthier, more nutritious foods. Gosh, it sounds like I'm complaining. Not. Love being able to get some treats in.

How do I eat my exercise calories?

With a spoon, a fork, or my fingers.

If I'm not hungry I don't eat them.. but if I have a craving I do.. usually ice cream or chocolate..

If you're having problems with food volume, try some more calorie dense foods...there have been some great suggestions on this thread already, but things like cheese, nuts and bananas are usually how I 'spend' mine.
