Hi,

I have just started using this App again as I have stopped losing weight (lost 3 stone last year and so far nothing really this year). When I put in my calories burnt during exercise for the day, do I have to eat those extra calories or not?

Thanks,

CM

    At first, maybe try finding out calories burned then put them in where you put food notes. See how you feel after a week and if the weight is coming off. If you are stalling or you are very hungry and tired, then try eating more.

    If you are doing a lot of strenuous exercise like spinning class or insanity or P90X, your body will tell you when you need more calories. Then it would be best if you upped the calories but eat something really clean like fruit, veg or a handful of nuts.

    it really depends on whether you use MFP caloric calculations or if you set your own with TDEE. Tdee...do not eat them back. MFP...eat them back

    Totally your decision. There are no hard and fast rules.
