    Hell you got me confused
  • How many calories you should eat goes up after you put in how much you exercise. 1,200 is good if you're sedentary, if you exercise you might want to eat a bit more because that would put you at under 900 calories.

    You should be eating at least some of your exercise calories back.
    Hope that answers your question. :smile:

    Think of it like a budget, where:

    Calories = how much money you have to spend
    Eating = spends money
    Exercising = earns money

    When you exercise, you get more calories to "spend".
