Hi :flowerforyou:
I'm just curious, & like to see what people eat/net a day....and if you eat back exercise calories or not. (especially people that have had great success )
I've lost 25 lbs by netting/eating 1400 & eating back workout cals.... but now I'm netting 1650(my BMR) & eat back ALL my workout cals

No great success here yet, just getting started. I net about 1300 per day. That's a 277 cal deficit from the 1577 I apparently need to eat to maintain my current wait. I try my best to eat all my exercise calories. Some days when I'm extremely active I burn upwards of 1000 calories though so it can be difficult.0

1400-1700.
Going really slow, but, it's going0 -
Wow 1000 cals burned a day is awesome!0

A slow loss is better than gaining!0 -
When I'm working as hard as I can and behaving, about 1500-1600. 1700-1800 is my usual. On bad days, let's just say there is no deficit to my net cals.0

I can have 1480 cal a day. I try to eat back my calories on the days I workout. I've had success so far, 3 lb loss this month.0

I'm about the same as you OP... I lose on net 1500-1600... I eat all my exercise calories so my actual caloric intake is closer to 2000-2100/day when I'm losing. My maintenance would be about net 2000-2100 or 2400-2500 total it seems. I'm 5'7" and 37 years old. 160 lbs currently with about 26% BF.0

About 1200 calories net. However, I burn 800 to 1800 calories per day exercising, much of which I eat back.0

I started out at 1200 (the apparent default)
Realized this wasn't enough, bumped up to 1300.
Decided to bump up again to 1400
Just reached 1/2 lb over my original goal weight, bumped up to 1500
Eat back all of my exercise calories.0 -
Right now about 1315.0

I don't get this at all. Ihave a hard time eating my given calories in a day let alone the !000 to 2000 calories I burn with exercise in a day. How important is it to eat back the net calories?? Some days there is no way I could eat that much!0

I make a point to never net less than my RMR, which is 1400. I don't exercise a lot, 3-4x, so most days my goal of 1700 cal, that is net as well.
eta. I'm having more success eating at this calorie level than I was netting below BMR.0 -

People shouldn't be exercising a lot since they are already assuming a moderate to large deficit by eating less.0

I net about 1350-1400. Some days a little more, some days a little less, but I always ensure I achieve a minimum net of 1200 calories. Some days I find that number extremely hard to reach, particularly if I have a heavy (700-1000 calories burned) exercise day. Eating 700-1000 extra calories to reach my net required is extremely difficult for me to wrap my mind around, but I do my best.0

I eat between 2000 and 2200 a day but, net around 800-900 a day.0

I was just looking into this subject. I wasn't logging my exercise calories because I didn't want to eat them, but I want to keep track of my exercise. So looking back at my food diary I see that if I was tracking exercise I am only netting 850-1000 calories a day, but...I lose 2-3 pounds each week. I'm not hungry, I feel great, but that's not a lot to eat.
Now I also have to realize that I'm not 110 lbs. I started at 284 and I'm down 20 since Aug 7, about 6 weeks. Is this too fast? Like I said, I'm not hungry, I feel better then I have in years, I'm eating a balanced, healthy diet, sleeping like a baby and exercise about an hour 5-6 days a week. I don't want to change anything if what I'm doing is working.
Might also add that I have hypothyroidism so my metabolism is mega-slow.
