I do sometimes.... not all the time ill say once a week....0

Not all the time here, either. Sometimes.0

I do because I will eat 1200 calories in 3 meals. Then burn between 800 and 1200 calories depending how much PT I do that day. I think a net result of 0 to 400 calories could be detrimental to my health if I didn't eat them back.0

Only when i need to!0
-
If I have too many, I eat some back....0
-
Yup - almost every last delicious one!0
-

i do - though if im really full i dont force it that day. if i have some leftover at the end of the week, ill eat them then to keep my weekly numbers where they need to be. either going out to eat, or splurging at home0

They way this site is set up, they are DESIGNED to be eaten. If you manually set your own goals based on some other TDEE calculator then you may not have to eat them, But if you let MFP choose your goal, there is already a deficit in place, and not eating them creates TOO large a deficit, which can cause failure.0

I average 700-850 calories burned when I exercise and end up eating back about 400-600 if I want them (mostly carbs like fruit, veg, sometimes protein).
I try to keep at least 200 that I've kept burned off, but sometimes it's more, sometimes it's less.0 -
Yup! And yum!0
-
yep0
-
Only on special occasions and when I am on holiday0

Always.0

Sometimes. Here lately though I have been more often than not but I've been exercising a lot and hard.0
-
Yup, on here my activity is set to sedentry, then I log everything I do and eat back some of the calories, up to 80% of my TDEE which has been worked out taking into account my exercise
I like to over-complicate things haha

Starting a new program Monday, I must eat them or I will fail to build.0

Occasionally I eat some of them. Rarely all of them. Usually I don't bother. I think my 50+ year old metabolism is pretty slow.0
