I have a question. I have had a lot of my friends at home telling me I need to eat more with working out. I have been getting around 1200-1300 calories (not net calories). I haven't been doing the best with logging my food on here the last couple weeks but I do write down what I eat. Sorry I have been slacking on here. :ohwell: Does anyone have any advice? How many calories should you be consuming on days when you workout? :smile: Thanks for any advice.

    Generally speaking you should be eating back your exercise calories, especially if you're netting a fairly low intake like 1200 per day.

    Have you worked out your BMR and TDEE (http://www.bmi-calculator.net/bmr-calculator/) That's an alternative, to work out TDEE and back off a modest deficit based on the amount of weight you want to lose weekly.
