How about when you record you workout under exercise and eat your exercice calories ? Would you still consider yourself lightly active or even active if you have a desk job ?
Said differently, if you have a desk job and workout, do you
A) consider your cardio workout when defining your activity level so you don't add it under exercise, or
consider you are sendentary on the goal page but add exercise calories when you workout, or
C) use both "calorie increasers" so you set activity to Lightly Active, or even Active AND add exercise when your workout ?
I'm curently set as B, but this discussion kind of leaves me wondering...0 -
Thank you Banks! I really needed to read this. I am getting closer to my goal. My BMI is 24.9 and my BMR is only 1,181. (45 yr old female, 5 ft 1" current weight is 132. I use a HRM so I am pretty accurate on my excercise calories and usually do not eat below 100 calories net and seldom do I go more than 50 above. I am kind of stuck...up a pound or two then down based on water, tmo, etc.
Not discouraged just disappointed but reading this helps! I will really focus on the muscle building and toning and let the weight take care of itself.
I have often wondered about what a realistic goal is for me anyway. Everyone who sees me says I look great and shouldn't lose anymore including my husband.
Thanks for all of you VERY helpful posts!!0 -

I have learned so much from the website, thanks to informative posts by people such as you who care enough to share your knowledge with the rest of us. Thanks for explaining it so clearly and helping me reach my goals in a safe, healthy way! Now my next step is to get a HRM so that I can eat my ACTUAL exercise calories!0

I have a triumph to proclaim....last week I did not loose any weight and I THOUGHT I had the best week ever (keeping within my minimum calories and exercising)!! Then I read your post on eating your exercise calories, and voila...down 2lbs this week! I'll admit I didn't eat every single exercise calorie...but I ate 50-75% and it seemed to be the answer...I am now a believer!0

Nice post, Banks. Are you a professional in the industry?
I just blogged about this very topic today, funnily enough, before seeing this.
Nice to see you spreading the good word.0 -

I'm a PT, but I wrote this before certified, I've just been on here a long time, and have done a heck of a lot of research is all.
thanks!0
