    Yes. Eat more.

    Seriously, eat back some or most of the calories you burned.

    You don't just burn calories when you workout. Your body needs energy just to keep you alive, and calories provide that energy. Your heart burns calories by beating. Your lungs burn calories by breathing. You burn calories even when you're sitting on the couch watching TV.

    Seriously, eat more. Your body needs fuel.
