Too Full for All My Calories

  • Yeah, you should eat back your exercise calories. Also make sure you're getting "correct" calorie information when you exercise, a lot of people over estimate. I am a big, big believer in heart rate monitors. Alls I know is I average ~500-600 a workout and if I didn't eat them back I would be keeling over by the end of the day. If you're still desperate for more calories, almond butter is the bee's knees.

    i think other people will jump in as well, but most people seem NOT to eat back the calories burned

    Actually, most who are ultimately successful and enjoy long term success DO eat back their exercise calories, or at least most of them. Ya know...considering that's how MFP works and all.

    OP...more fat. Stop with the no fat/low fat bull ****. Dietary fat doesn't make you fat. Just substitute some of those items for full fat or more fat than the ones you're currently doing.


    LOL, thanks...yea I will try to eat more full fat foods, but do it in moderation...I just want to be successful

    So I am trying to make sure I eat the number of recomended calores that MFP is suggesting that I eat....Well for 1, I get full by trying to keep up w/ the calories and #2, if I excercise that day, and burn calories and I need to eat them back...I don't think my stomach can take all of that...I'm just mainly trying to tone up my stomach by eating right and excercising...What should I do???


    5'6
    147lbs
    32 1/2 inch waist

    If you can't even eat enough calories to lose weight properly, how did you get overweight in the first place?

    The answer is that you don't need to eat foods you think of as "super healthy" and low calorie. Eat some avocado, ice cream, pizza, Pop-Tarts, butter, rice, pasta, etc.

    Eat more of the stuff you used to eat.


    1st of all I'm 147 lbs soaking wet, and I'm not overweight sweetie...I'm just trying to obtain a flat stomach....Thanks

    Well you certainly weigh more than you want to, and that can't happen if you're unable to eat enough calories to maintain your weight.

    Eat whatever you want to hit your calorie goal.
