MFP says that I should eat 1710 calories a day to lose 1 pound a week, today I went to the gym and had a cardio session burning 510 calories. Do I eat those 510 calories back as well as my 1710?

    You can eat back what you burned in exercise if you want. I warn you, many people on this site don't believe in eating back exercise calories, but I am not one of them. Your body needs its fuel to function.
