I have 21lbs left to lose and im switching from slimming world to calorie counting. .
I dont know whether to calorie count as normal and eat back exercise calories or to zig zag my calories to include exercise calories? What has worked for others?

You'll get very mixed answers here, but if you are using MFP as it is designed (and I personally do recommend that ) then count your calories and do eat back at least a portion of your exercise calories (dependant on how accurate you believe your assessment of calories burned is - e.g. MFP estimates may be high, Heart Rate Monitors may be more accurate for you)
Best of luck on the journey!0
