    You will eventually be ravenous....

    If you are fairly accurate on your exercise calories, then you should be eating some of them back. I eat anywhere from 50-75% of mine back - I leave 25% or so on the table to account for underestimating food and over estimating exercise. I don't weight my food for personal reasons, but those who do can get a more accurate sense.
