nearly 1200 calories left what to do?

Eat some calorie dense foods, peanut butter, avocado, cook with olive oil, etc.

i have put all the food ive eaten today in and have loggedmy exercise as well, i started off with 1200 cals and because of the cals ive burned i have nearly 1200 cals left. i dont know what to do any advice would be great thanks

I don't eat back all the calories i've burned during my weight loss phase. Maybe eat half back if you're real hungry. But make sure it's hunger and not boredom. drink 2-3 glasses of water first then decide how much you want to eat!

yup, I'd be having CAKE

i have a hrm and the exercise cals burned are taken from that, so i should eat half of them back then? thanks everyone for the advice

Start with eating half back, and see how you feel. If it's from weight lifting then yes - if it's from cardio - then maybe not.

I try not to, but when I am real hungry or tired, I will eat half back. Try and see what works for you - but give it time, whatever you try, make sure you stick with it a while to see if it's actually working

Please eat back all of your calories if you are at a 1200 goal. Doing otherwise will result in a net calorie count that will be dangerously low. MFP already calculates your deficit in your stats and dietary goals - too much of a gap and your body will not be able to comfortably do things (such as working out.)

Eating disordered level calorie goals do not make for a healthy body.

1. Grab peanut butter jar
2. Grab spoon - preferably a large one
3. Insert spoon in jar
4. Go to town


Seriously, this is what I do, especially during a bulk phase as it gets harder eating 3000+ calories. Also, if you are truly training for a tough mudder, you really want to fuel your workouts.

i don\t manage to eat back my exercise calories .... in healthy way .... I eat 5x day ... only thing i found out is that to lose weight i have to eat 5x !!!

EASY.... FISH SUPPER:laugh:

Lets say for a moment that the calorie counters being used are not 100% accurate. This is where you need to listen to your body. If after a few days of HUGE amounts of calorie deficit & you are feeling sluggish, you'll know to increase. Your body is your best indicator of all - it's how you process the information and what you do with it that matters.

I still say eat half them back, then wait... You'll know soon enough how much you need - but if you don't go to extremes you'll never know where your boundaries are.

Your body has the ability to suppress signals so sometimes you need to be more cognizant of what you are eating and how much. I rather know what I am eating and force myself to eat more than to fail/bonk during my workout. Also, if you are seriously training for an event, you need to be proactive rather than reactive. Waiting for your body to tell you something is wrong may come too late. Your body doesn't always indicate something is wrong until it's too late. Also, your body won't tell you if you are losing muscle during your weight loss. It' requires you to monitor body composition over time. When you train for events like she is, the more muscle you have, the stronger and better you will perform so a goal is to optimize fat loss and minimize muscle loss.

Screw the food...DRINK WHISKEY!!!!!!!!!

Eat more food... no seriously eat more food. IF you start out with 1200 calories... and you burn 1200 calories you are netting zero that will not help you..

Pizza and beer!
