    It depends for me. I do calorie cycling as it seems to prevent my body going into starvation mode. That generally means that Mon - Thurs I won't eat them back and end up netting about 800 cals (although that isn't a problem for me). Fri, Sat and Sun (Sat is when I usually exercise the most heavily) I will eat a little higher and usually aim to net about 1600 on Saturday (given how much I run, that often means I'd have to eat about 2900 cals which I just can't do without feeling horrendous, so I might end up netting more like 1200 but I do have a piece of cheesecake to help me along!). So far, although I'm in a bit of a stall at the moment (because I took a few days off and had some booze over Easter), I've lost 40lbs so it does work.

    When you get within 10lbs of your goal you will want to eat them back or you will stall out !!!
    Been there done that !!! You have to fuel the furnace.
