I started alternate day on monday, I am on my second DD and I am wondering if anyone knows about exercise while doing this?? I am in the first week of month 2 of Insanity, today I feel a bit tired ( my first DD I had loads of energy) I eat around 500 calories on my DD, so question is do I count exercise calories or just stick to the 500ish. I normally (before this) dont eat back my exercise calories.

    Finally read about exercise calories in the alternate day diet. but it was only one paragraph. Apparently you should eat your exercise calories but he gave an example of someone only burning 100 calories.

    The way I see it if you need the calories on your down day use them or instead carry them over to your next up day. You may be feeling tired cause you restricted your calories too much on your up day. Listen to your body and see how the weight loss goes.

    Umm hope that made sense

    i always try to exercise on an up day, but sometimes on down days i have loads of energy (not sure where it comes from ) but just go with what you feel you can manage on the day . good luck :)
