    You are probably over-estimating....

    ...That being said, you should either work out less or eat more.

    As long as you eat an additional 1360 calories you're good
    Why would I eat the 1360 again?? I want to lose the weight but I don't want to hurt my body ya know?

    Here's an example. I have my calories set to 1500. I will eat 1500 calories that day, then if I go to the gym and burn another 1000 calories, I will eat a total of 2500 calories that day. I do this a lot and I am still seeing progress and not gaining weight.

    New to all of this but that's pretty much what I have been doing. I do not have anything to go on my arm to count my calories so only know what i loose on the treadmill, I guess in real world i loose lot more calories a day then what I am logging

    You need to eat at least 600 net calories to live. If you are working out that much you need it to be protien packed cause you body will eat its muscle!

    Do you have a source to back this up? From what I understand (based on MFP settings) 1200 is the minimum net calories for a woman. Telling people who are easily impressionable that it is ok to net 600 calories a day has the potential to really hurt them.

    yeah, For exercise I just go by what my HRM says. Usually i'll cut 100 from it just in case cause it always seems high. since i'm at 1500 I have a little room to breath either way

    SO your HRM also counts your calories , We have been looking at HRM but not found one we like yet, well she did but its $200 I trying to find one under $100

    I'm a 235 lb. man. I would need to run nearly 2 hours and 15 minutes to burn 1300 calories. Presuming you are smaller, you would have to go even longer. If you're doing over 2 hours and 15 minutes a day, , , STOP!!! Throttle it back to no more than an hour a day. You could be killing yourself

    Make sure you are using something to track your burn accurately. 60 min of cardio I burn 350 max. I would have to be doing almost 4 hours of cardio to burn that much. My workout is pretty intense.

    From what I understand... your body will compensate by hanging on to every calorie, (minimal calorie burn) in these circumstances because our bodies are programmed to survive. I would really like to know more about this as well. I have totally stalled in my weight loss and my calorie intake has been pretty low while exercising. Hemmm?????

    I run in the AM, walk during my lunch break, and then typically do fast pace dancing for about 2 hours in the evenings. Thanks you guys, I knew I wasn't feeling quiet right. I stay really tired. :)

    ^ This.

    Along with this:

    http://www.myfitnesspal.com/topics/show/818082-exercise-calories-again-wtf

    Netting 0 calories is not a good thing. To your body, it would be the exact same as not exercising and eating nothing every day. Not only will it screw up your metabolism, it will do other bad things to your body (read the above links for explanations).

    1360 calories is ALREADY a deficit to let you lose weight.

    If you are netting 0 calories per day, that is a problem. You will die doing that. Eat back the additional 1360 calories and you'll be fine.

    Fixe.......err, adjusted

    Holy cow, 1200?? I've been at 200-500 for the past few weeks, I suppose I should eat more!
