  • The more you burn the more you need to fuel your body. If you go to low you will put your body in starvation mode. Just make the added calories healthy ones like a protein shake!

    If you haven't eaten 1200 yet and you have already exercised, then you are WAY under where you need to be! You need to eat that 1200 plus 344 exercise to get your net to 1200.

    Up to you. I eat all of them back up to my net goal.

    I use eating to gain weight, lose weight, and to fuel my workouts.

    My workouts are for building muscle strength, cardiovascular strength, and optimize the metabolism, not to lose weight.

    I eat 1,600 a day and with no exercise and lose 1.5 pounds per week.

    I eat 1,600 a day and exercise and then eat back all of those calories back and still lose 1.5 pounds per week.

    Good luck in you goal setting and weight loss.
