I've been generally eating my extra fitness calories and i've stopped losing any weight. I'm going to stop but I was wondering if many of you eat them or if you guys just leave them be.

    It seems to be different for everybody. When I first started I ate about 1/2 of them. Then as I lost and I got to eat fewer calories I ate all of them. I am on maintenance now and usually eat most of them.

    I dont push to eat them...I dont plan in my plan to eat them; however, if i go a little over in my regular calories, i dont feel guilty if i eat some....

    Every day is different for me. Some days I barely touch them, other days I have to workout extra just to make me even.

    I eat some if I am still hungry but never eat all of them. I guess it depends on how much you are exercising. It usually gives me 700-850 more a day and most of the time I leave 400+ on the table. Try differing amounts and see what works for your body! Best of luck! You are doing GREAT!

    I eat mine if I need them. However, I don't have *that* many exercise calories each day and I only have my settings set to lose 1 pound a week -- if it was at 1200 calories or doing intense exercise and burning 500+ calories a day, I would definitely eat at least half of my exercise calories.
