Im new, sorry if this is a common question...I have my activity level set to slightly active BC my job includes a lot of driving and standing, not a lot of activity during my day. My calorie goal is set at 1330. I do exercise everyday, with a personal trainer. I am currently NOT eating my additional calories I burn. Is this ok?
Thank you for your input!
Katie

    Yep, sounds good. I suggest getting a food scale to weigh your food just to get good at eyeballing serving amounts. Weigh all solids and use cup measures for liquid. :)

    Wait...no, you should be eating back some of your exercise calories. You might have to experiment at first, try 50%

    Yes you should be eating back some of your exercise calories or you won't be getting enough calories daily. I found that with step calories I can eat them all back and still lose. Not so sure about the exercise ones that you input yourself as I don't use that anymore.
