My calorie goal is 1200. I am not sure how to eat back all of my calories burned in a healthy way to "net" 1200. I now know that I need to eat back most of those calories. I burn over 900 calories in 60 minutes according to the machines. I do realize that they are probably not quite accurate. Even so, to eat back half of those calories, is hard for me. I do eat very well, for breakfast and dinner, with a large salad for lunch, and I also have several snacks a day. Let me know if you can help me. Thanks.

    I started by eating slightly larger portions. Like, I cut my portions way down when I started MFP and wasn't exercising, but once I'd started working out I would add a yoghurt to my fruit salads at breakfast, or eat something more substantial like beans on toast instead.

    I've also recently bought some dried fruits which are good to snack on if I want, but they're a much healthier option than snacking on crisps or biscuits.
