okay, i think i`m beginning to understand that if i burn a lot of calories i then have to make them up again, by eating more food (the healthy stuff of course).... but then we have the net cals..if i eat more then my net cals stay in the positive..is that right? is that whats suppose to happen??
Can someone PLEASE have a look at my food diary and then be able to give me some advice as i`m getting more confused!! i`m looking to loose body fat and tone up (hopefully) :wink:

    Yes, your net cals are supposed to be in the positive.

    Your net cals are what you're giving your body to run on, after you deduct the exercise calories.
