Sorry I am new here and I can not seem to get my head around the calories I 'earn' from exercising:blushing: . Do I need to eat these or can I just stick to the limit that I have been set - although I am struggling with this today and need to find another 300 calories :drinker:

Thank you

    I eat mine, and am doing well. Most of our biggest losers do too.

    I don't do this every time. I go more by the listen to my body, eat healthy, exercise philosophy. It works for me...some days I eat more some less. I think everyone is different.

    Best of luck!
