@am_change & @fitqueenbess Thanks for the responses. I never know if I should eat back or not. I am going to try to consistently leave them for a few weeks and see how it goes. I have been logging for 4 weeks now and exercising at least 4 times a week but I haven't dropped at all on the scale. I have been telling myself bc its all that muscle I am building
@jtkatch What do you mean that you start with a negative in exercise calories? I'm not sure I understand.0 -
Exercise- Yes, lifted weights and did day one of 21 day core challenge
Track- yes
Cals- yes
@Shutterbuggg I don't eat back my exercise cals if I am trying to lose weight. The exception would be if I had a major workout (i.e. ran 12 miles) or if I planned and built up calories to spend for a special event that night. For me, I just don't lose weight if I eat them back.0 -
@Shutterbuggg I don't eat exercise calories back. I've tried it a few times and never lost weight when I have. But everyone's different!
I start off my day with a negative in my exercise calories !! Haven't even moved yet. Even when I do move and do weights I am still at a negative calorie (meaning if my calorie in take is 1400 i can only eat 1200 bc it calculates the difference somehow??) not sure how this works
Anyone?
Do you have your account linked to your fibit (or other device) and have negative adjustments enabled? If so, it's deducting calories based on the activity level you have it set. I have my set at lightly active so if I have a little bit of a sedentary morning it will seemingly "take away" calories until my activity matches what it thinks I should haveby this point in the day, but it just takes an average so it doesn't know that you plan to move more later on . It usually evens out over the course of the day. I find it motivating to have negative adjustments enabled because I hate "losing" calories.0 -

Exercise-yes, active rest day, but I did about 6 hours of housework so I figure that's at least 20 minutes of exercise!
Calories-yes
Tracking-yes
It's interesting, but for me tracking and sticking with my calories are very closely linked. If I know I'm going to write it down, it really changes my behavior. I know some people long for the day when they don't track, but I just don't understand those people. Without tracking, I am 100% sure I would be back where I was when I started two years ago.0 -
