When you burn, let's say 400-500 calories from exercise, do you eat a little more through the day to make up for those calories? I normally don't and then this thing tells me that I may not be eating enough.

    As I understand it, if you are not eating the required amount of calories for a male of your age it will give you that message. If your goal is to lose weight, lose it the healthy way.
  • I don't eat extra calories if im not hungry. However, If i am hungry and it says i shouldnt eat more, i still do. Starving doesnt lose weight either.

    Jess, so if am understanding you correctly, you still eat over our goal calories?
  • Sometimes i do yes. I dont try to to, but i dont starve myself if im hungry and im close to going over. Sometimes your body will crave more because you exercised more!
