    I would go bonkers if I did not eat back my exercise calories. I enjoy food too much to stop at my deficit goal.

    On a normal day I don't eat back my exercise calories. I like seeing the green when I close out my day.

    You can eat 50-75% of them back and still see green...

    ETA: if you are bang on you don't see green....:grumble:

    Yeah, I ate some back and still have green. I am OCD though. I like a BIG green number. Over 200 is good for me. The 124 I have today seems too low, like I will gain weight, but I KNOW that is false thinking.

    I love my exercise calories, can eat pretty much what I am in the mood for. I exercised a lot yesterday, earned 1700 calories and had a great lunch at Moe's. And honestly if I try not to eat them, in a few days I end up binging like crazy. Its like my body is telling me it wants more and if I don't eat enough its going to get those calories NOW, and I have no choice of the kind of calories.

    I honestly think the only way I can possibly make target today is via cake!

    WOOT! CAKE!

    Tomorrow I run for steak, mash, peas, peppercorn sauce :heart:

    I never eat back my exercise calories and I rarely eat all of my plan calories. (And then the fight started...LoL )
