    It is totally up to you. If you are hungry use them. If not don't.

    If you're hungry, eat. If not, don't. Simple.

    My dad about beat this into my brain when I started counting calories.

    If you had gnawing hunger all day, I would eat them!!
    I virtually never have hunger, even when I was eating 1500 calories. The only time I felt hungry was if I knew I would be eating out and having a huge meal so I would try to compensate earlier in the day with less calories. Other wise I don't feel hungry. (Doesn't mean I don't think about food, but that's out of boredom/ emotional reasons not actual hunger)

    I found that pine nuts are extremely helpful with hunger. Although 1 serving is 222 calories from Kirkland brand, it doesn't matter because after I'm finished eating them with some water I feel pretty full. I've incorporated them into my daily diet and am loving them!

    If you've been hungry all day and still have nearly 400 calories left I would eat them! PB and celery or something! Or if you have a nutritional hole, like low iron or calcium eat to fill that!

    400 calories is a third of my day! I can't imagine having 400 calories left right now.

    I generally eat my exercise calories back, but sometimes on a very high calorie burn day, I end up with a few extra then I usually will go over in calories the next day (especially if it is a rest day). It all evens out in the end.
