Hi there. I just started My Fitness Pal and like it a lot. My question is... am I suppose to eat all my exercise calories? Is it one of those things where it is different for everyone?

    that question will have several answers to it. everyone is different and different things work for different people. I never eat all my exercise calories, if any, however once again this is one of those situations where you have to see what works for you. Maybe even make a call to a dietitian or fitness expert. Well wishes on your journey.

    Well, I think it may be different for everyone, but I try on the day I workout, to eat a little more anyway, just because I'm usually extra hungry. But most of the time I don't actually eat all the carbs I burned during working out.

    every is different in every thing, but as a rule, as long as you did not go over your normal daily cals, then eat eat least 1/2 of your excerise or all. Over time, you will find what works best for you.

    For me, I eat almost all of mine every day.

    All I can really say is that I TRY to stay at or under my calorie goal, though there are times I go over. Next I try to walk at least 30 or more minutes 4x's per week if not more. I haven't dropped alot of weight yet---however I haven't been as diligent as I need to be....though I'm getting there...

    I've been at this off and on for I guess at least four weeks and only dropped 3lbs...so...
    Again, a new day...a new opportunity to get it right.
