    Is the limit including calories gained from exercise or excluding them?

    MFP considers it including calories burnt from exercise. I would think its just easier doing it that ways; else you would need a separate tracker perhaps?
    should we include a nutrition factor too? that you have to meet your Carbs:Proteins:Fat ratios every week? because going under calories can be achieved by starving too.

    Ok, just wanted clarity on it :).

    As for nutrition aspect, well I won't be able to meet that. I am deliberately eating less carbs than recommended. But I guess it would be a good idea to help people eat well.

    @ jasneet.... Nutrition ratios will be a little tough...
    How much ever i eat... I never seem to reach my protein goal...
    Being vegetarian... My main protein source is pulses n dairy...

    @Yogesh & Naruto: MFP allows you to set your own nutrition ratios. I am usually off my ratios by 2-3 % but I am allowing myself that much room for error. I really cannot track food by the morsel.

    So are we on, people???


    I shall burn calories for 24 hours in June and eat under my calorie goal for 24 of the 30 days!
