Hello.
On your FD do you take the calories burned during exercise and add that to the 500?
Example a bike ride might he 150 calories so that mean that you can have 500 calories or 650 calories.
Thanks a lot

I "believe" you are not supposed to- as it goes against the idea of the fast day. There isn't anything stopping you from doing that on a Non-Fast day but I understand you are not supposed to go over the "allotted" amount.. on the Fast day's. hope that made sense!

As Victoria said....
A fast day is supposed to give your digestive system a bit of a rest and allow your body to go into a sort of repair mode. Of course if you exercise and feel very jittery, I would eat some extra cals on that day. As your body gets used to fasting, you probably won't need to dig into those exercise cals.0 -
Thanks a lot. I cycle to and from work so exercise every day.0

Nope! Not on fast days, 500 and that's it.
You may find your ability to train/cycle fasted improves over time. Mine certainly has - I managed a PB last week on a hard 2hr cycle and felt fine despite the masive calorie deficit.0 -
No, But yayyyyyy for cycling to and from work!0

No 500 or less is the limit. but as sijomial says (You may find your ability to train/cycle fasted improves over time. Mine certainly has - I managed a PB last week on a hard 2hr cycle and felt fine despite the masive calorie deficit) I went out last week and did 100km fasted at a reasonable speed. but I have been building up to this for a while. The previous Tues I only managed 45km and was then wrecked.0
