Definitely read that thread about eating your exercise calories.
I'm sure you'll also get tons of advice for and against. In my own case, I can tell you that I eat MOST of mine. I do try to leave SOME though, just in case I estimated wrong on some of my foods throughout the day.

If you click the "complete today's entry" button before you've eaten all of your daily allotted calories, it will tell you that you will weigh "x" amount in 5 weeks. If you click it after you have eaten all of your daily allotted calories, the number of pounds lost will be less in 5 weeks.
