No, I eat more so I can exercise more.0

I tried that, especially when I first started. It seemed like such a great idea. But sadly, exercise makes me pretty hungry. I can out-eat any amount burned if I'm not careful, so I had to stop thinking of it like that.0

I enjoy that i can eat more, the more I do. But I don't run two miles so I can go home and scarf down a hot dog or anything. What Rock said. it's just fuel.
But I'm sure you'll get people who say "yes"0 -
It's the other way around for me. I don't exercise more so I can eat more, but if I've indulged and eaten more I do try to exercise more to compensate.0
-
Yes. Some days I exercise more to get a bigger number of calories, but not every day.0

Exercising just to eat is pointless. Needing fuel to keep your body fit has a point. The whole calories burned, calories consumed measurement is just too flawed to make it a valid way to look at exercise.0

Yes. However, I still strive keep my daily calorie intake under my daily target daily but there are definitely days when this cannot happen such as Christmas party days with my friends. So on those days I make certain I have a big workout.0

Yes, absolutely!! :-)0

Kind of. I sometimes play up to 3 hockey games on Sundays... and can burn over 1200 calories per my HRM (which isn't so far away from the total amount of calories that I get for the day!)
I don't play just so I can eat more, but I do enjoy splurging a bit on those days0 -
No. A while back, I thought "I'll exercise like crazy so I can eat whatever I like." I love food. But that was unrealistic. I'd have to be in the gym for several hours a day.
It's better to focus on creating a calorie deficit while getting in exercise that involves cardio, strength training, stretching, and balance.
But I think many of us have had the fantasy.0 -
If we're going out I try to make sure it's a running day so I have extra calories to play with.0
-
I suppose I do. To lose weight, I didn't eat less, I just started exercising regularly. I (mostly) only eat when hungry, but I get hungry too often to stay slim without exercise. So, I exercise so I don't need to eat less, which is pretty much the same as exercising to eat more.0
-
I don't necessarily exercise so I can eat more, but do love the extra calories I can have if I need it from exercising.0

this.
This is me too0 -

Same here.....ya tend to get a little cocky.0

If you hop on an excercise bike and pedal at a good pace you can drink a beer every 20-25 minutes. This way you can watch a football game, lose weight, and get sufficiently tipsy, all at the same time.
Piece of advice... don't try the same on a treadmill.0 -
If I overindulged then I would exercise a bit more to compensate. No, I do not view exercising as a reserve account to eat more.0

This ^^ is crazy talk.0
