Ok, here's the deal. I had a good run this morning, and even after a decent-sized lunch and a couple snacks, I still have over 2,000 calories left from exercise.

What is your recommendation for eating at least half of these back? This isnt a debate about eating them back, it's about what sort of delicious things you always want, but may not have the calories for. Milkshakes and ice cream are sounding like delicious fillers right now :)

    People have different opinions on eating back exercise calories.

    I, myself, LOVE food, so heck ya, if I burn those calories I gonna eat them!
    Sometimes when I cannot eat them all in one day (for example I burned 1300 calories hiking the other day) I will eat some of those calories the next day :)
    Treat yourself to something you don't normally eat because it's high-cal. Milkshake and Ice-cream are awesome ideas :)
