Question about Exercise Calories
Debtappe
Posts: 164 Member
I have been wondering about this for a little while now. When I entered my goals into my MFP profile the system asked me how much I exercised and I answered 5 times per week for 30 minutes a day. The system responded with the number of calories I should eat per day. I get that part. BUT
When I record my exercise - do I only record the exercise I do that is over and above the 30 minutes per day? Because the exercise calories get added to my daily allotment of calories.
It seems to me that the 30 minutes a day of exercise is already factored into my caloric allotment.
Thoughts?
