    That's what you're supposed to be shooting for. However, I've discovered over the last 5 months that My Fitness Pals "Calories Burned" for the exercises listed seems to be high. I try not to eat back all of my exercise calories. I have days that I go over, but I've lost 35.5 pounds since the first of the year, so I think I'm doing pretty well.
