Leftovers

I usually estimate my exercise calorie burn either the night before or early in the morning so that I can plan my meals and snacks to accommodate those extra calories.

If you plan your meals in advance, you'll not have hundreds left at the end of the day

Personally, I think all our measurements are off, and I'm not a believer in eating all my calories back anyway, so .... I target about 25% less. Like today, I could have eaten 2300 calories, since I burned 640, but I only ate 1700 -- which is actually a little on the high side for me.

I figure that heart monitors are off, calories/food weights are frequently off, so it's not a great idea to plan your eating down to the last calorie, i.e. "I'm allowed 1400 calories and I burned 500, so I can eat 1900!" That could lead to some very slow or not even weight loss if your measurements are off, you're taking the wrong calorie count or you're unaware of a changed ingredient (such as when a chef/cook uses 3/4 cup of oil rather than two tablespoons.)

If you should add, add some fruits and vegetables because those do seem to clean out your system a lot more -- for me at least. They helped me get past a two-week plateau.

you are fine. keep it up! :drinker:

You are not fine. You should increase your caloric intake. I can't tell you what to eat obviously, but definitely more of almost anything would be better than sitting 1000 cal below your goal.
