    I'd get yourself a food scale. I wouldn't cut back on any calories if I were you. Not until you know that you're accurately logging.
    Good luck op :smiley:

    Wait...you don't cut back calories when you burn them...if you're using this app the way it is intended, you EAT your exercise calories back. At least a portion of them.
