in Introduce Yourself
Hello,
I am really excited about sticking to my weight loss goals with MFP. You guys seem like you have a great community who really supports each other. I am hoping someone can answer a question for me. I worked out this morning and logged the time and the number of calories burned on MFP. Why did MFP add the calories I burned during exercise to the amount of calories I can intake in a day?

I thought I am supposed to work out while keeping to my 1200 calorie a day diet?

Thanks . :smile:

    Don't get sucked into the bad habit of eating back the calories you burn just because it adds it, I know of several people that will burn just to be able to eat more.

    Your welcome to add me as a friend and I would be more than happy to cheer you on!

    Thanks.....good to know it's not a requirement....I have a hard enough time eating 1200 healthy calories.
