    You gain more calories to eat when you exercise. Its your choice whether you use them.

    the farther you get into it, you'll need to eat those extra calories to keep up your workouts

    1200 is the MINIMUM- you need to eat! If you exercise- you still need to try and get up to the 1200 limit again.......You also need to be eating healthy stuff to get up to the limit. I had FF yogurt with fresh blueberries and raspberries this AM, then for lunch a Lean Cuisine quesadilla and a salad w/ FF ranch dressing-I only have 704 calories left for dinner. If you are only eating 400 calories- that is WAY to low......
