using exercise as a sole calories burner

sabrekism

hello folks hows is it hanging?

what do u guys think of the approach of using exercising as a sole calories burner and in the calories intake corner we only eat the "maintain" level of food intake and only using exercise as the progress wheel ?

reason for this is beacause im a loser when it comes to cut calories intake but i can maintain no problem and also im welling to kick butt in the Gym and so on.

u guys think this might work? and what are the cons and pros of this method?

thx in advance

There are some on this site who advocate that approach.
That the calorie intake be established at a maintenance level and accomplish the calorie deficit through exercise.
In theory, it should work.
MFP says to establish a calorie deficit by limiting the diet, then 'eat back' the calories burned.
As long as there is a net calorie reduction of about 3500 per week, you should lose a pound.
Mathematically, either approach should work.
I lost my weight by reducing intake alone. I'm physically unable to exercise, so deficit through intake was my sole option.

Sounds like a solid plan. Cardio burns calories pretty quickly and as long as you're eating healthy you'll see results.
