Why are you exercising so much? Plus in your other thread you said you're eating 1100 calories. You're going to end up in a hospital if you keep overy exercising and eating so little.8

How are you measuring that burn? From your stats, you're pretty small so it's doubtful that you're burning that much.4

My calorie intake is 1200 perday.
So if i burn 900calories on the elliptical I can eat excess of 700-900 calories during the day.
Also I read somewhere exercise until muscle sore is good which means I am building muscle.8 -

"I read somewhere..." three of the most frightening words in the English language.19

OP - for reference, I'm a 6'1" 200 pound male and I will burn about 500 calories in a light to moderate hour on the elliptical (HR around 75% of max). My theoretical 90 minute burn would be about 750.
You can scale your results accordingly for a ballpark. For example, if you weigh 150 pounds (75% of my weight), then it wouldn't be unreasonable to assume that your 90 minute elliptical burn would be somewhere in the mid-500's. As other posters have stated above, machine calorie totals can be off by a good 30 to 40 percent.
Here's the rub...you don't exercise until you are sore. You should only exercise until you are tired/muscle fatigued. The good kind of sore will happen a couple of hours or the day after your workout as your muscles rebuild themselves. The good kind of sore will be deep in your muscles and won't cause any joint discomfort, etc.
The bad kind of sore happens while you are working out or manifests in your joints. This has nothing to do with muscle rebuilding and is more a sign of something physically wrong (either overwork, excess strain, chafing, or otherwise).
If 90+ minutes on the elliptical is causing you pain while you work out or if you feel any joint pain afterwards, don't do it that long.11 -
Highly unlikely that you have the aerobic fitness to burn that much.
Sore feet doesn't equal muscle building!2 -
My feet would be sore from 90 min of cardio too... doesn't mean I built any muscle, most likely the opposite since you are in a deficit. You *usually* build muscle by strength training and eating at least maintenance calories.1

Wait. So just so I'm reading this right. You're thinking that you can eat 1200 calories a day only if you burn 900 on the elliptical? (And frankly, I'm side-eyeing the idea of burning 10 calories a minute on an elliptical, but that's neither here nor there.)
Please tell me that's not what you meant.
If it is: Get thee to therapy.3 -
That would wreck my knees. I do 30 min elliptical, 30 min weights. I don't burn that many cals, not even close, but I'm short and middle aged so it is what it is.

Fwiw my experience of losing weight, hence eating in a deficit, was that it was psychologically easier to net 1600 of I was running off 300 and eating 1900 than it was just reading 1600. No real difference in CICO but it made adherence to the restriction much easier.
I agree that training off 900 is needlessly excessive though, particularly with no real objective, or training outcome, in mind.2 -

Right. But she's claiming that she's eating 1200, and then exercising off 900 worth. That's very different from eating 1900 and burning 300 through exercise.
Her example is not healthy, and pretty dang disordered. Overexercise to that extreme is pretty classic eating disorder behavior.0 -

NO, she's claiming she's netting 1200 and eating 700 of the 9005 -
OK. I was hoping I was misinterpreting. When I read "intake" that doesn't tell me net; that reads to me as gross.
Hopefully you're right.0 -

That's not how I read it0 -
Ok let me explain this again.
My standard intake per day if I dont exercise is 1200calories per day (according to height & weight which is 59kg/155cm)
If I work out 90mins and burn 900calories, my in take per day will be 1200+900= 2100calories on the day. But it depends on me if I want to eat 1800cals,1900cals -- as long it is below 2100calories,
So the more I exercise, the more I can eat .

Sounds about accurate to me. Elliptical is a total body workout, thats why I love it so much!
Way to go!!!!3
