Ok so I burned 2500 calories this am in my work out. Is it really necessary for me to eat those calories back.

    What are you using to calculate your calorie burn? 2500 is a huge huge burn.

    I did 124 mins of vigerous mountain biking. the app I use Digifit said i burned 3500. when i accounted for the exercise in mfp it said 2573. I also went to a calorie burn calculator and it said 2800 calories. The digifit uses a hrm to better calculate the burn with HR.

    if you can't eat them all try to eat a portion and save the rest for a day later on in the week.

    i notice that on days when i have huge burns i'm not hungry but the next day or so my appetite is on like donkey kong. so even if i dont eat all my calories the day off, by the end of the week i've made up for it
