    This is probably the most debated topic on this site. My thought on the matter is that if you look at people who maintain a healthy weight throughout their life, most do it by eating only when they are hungry. If you exercise more you'll probably be hungry more, but it makes no sense to continue eating past the point of being full. That is usually what leads to weight gain and the need to start counting calories.

    I am currently in the same battle! I've gained 1.8 lbs in a week!! I'm interested in the answer but I'm not giving up. I'm taking my measurements and I know what I need is an HRM to figure out how much I'm actually burining. But I'm determined to figure this out. If I work hard I should be able to eat more. It makes sense. Dont know why its not working

    I'm on1200 calories per day so when I exercise I eat my calories back, so far i've lost weight.
