MFP tells me to eat 1200 cals, so If I work out and burn say 1000 cals ...should I eat those back or is that defeating the purpose???

    MFP already creates a deficit for you without any exercise. If you add exercise, you further increase that deficit to a possibly dangerous amount. If you are following the system MFP has in place, you should be eating back those exercise calories and you will still lose weight.

    I think everyone is divided on this, but personally I reckon I'd eat them back. It's all very well if your goal is 1400 and you burn 200 and don't eat them back, but that's quite a deficit! :)

    If you are working out enough you shouldn't have to, nor should you, eat that low to obtain your goals. If you hardly work out then you might need to be strict on those numbers.

    Eat as much back as you can. From my experience in watching people on here, the ones who eat back a lot of exercise calories but have a goal I consider to be really low do a lot better than people who underestimate the crap exercise and overestimate the crap out of food.

    There are a lot of trolls on here. I call them the "troll patrol", most of these profiles have cartoon characters as there profile pic, and never engage in any opinion related comments. They don't like to debate a topic, or simply leave an opinion, they have a sole attempt of being funny, and 90% of the time it's a fail. I love to laugh, I like to be funny as well, it's just easy to spot the ones that never have anything useful or insightful to say, whether or not you agree with them. I've labeled this group the "troll patrol", I've only ever seen them in topic's where someone is asking for advice, and they leave a dumb a** comment, and or picture comment.


    The irony of this (the troll patrol making fun of the OP's, in general) is that they wouldn't have any topic's to picture comment if it wasn't for someone in need, or asking for help, or an opinion.

    Lol, wait. Do you really not realize the OP's a troll? We never come out full force like this ;) It's more like OP invited us to a party, really.

    Physical activity ought not to be something other than ordinary; don't treat it as though it were.

    Eat when hungry.

    I don't think you are a troll.

    I noticed that beautiful women get picked on a lot.. especially by other women (jealously is an ugly thing). If that's you in the picture, you are drop dead gorgeous..

    P.S. Only eat when you are hungry.

    Lol oh. I thought we were partying with "her," since she posted the most common bait post, "WHY IS EVERYONE SO MEAN" as her first post, claimed to be TWO separate models by her pics, etc.

    EDIT: Oh, joined this month, has 12 posts. NEVERMIND!
