How many calories do you burn on average, during a week? Do you try or are you able to eat all your exercise calories?

    I burned about 2,400 calories in the last week, but I probably only ate 2/3rds of them. I figure, if I'm not hungry I'm not going to eat. I'm about 150 cals under today.

    I burn about 4700 ( i i work out everyday usually so i'm averaging around 670per day) and i eat every last one of them. Its one of the driving forces i work out...so i can eat more of what i want!

    For Exercise and Weightlifting alone I burn 700 calories per day on average. I do not count calories burned doing normal activity at work or at home.

    I do count when I wlk the golf course carrying my bag. According to MFP it says I burn 2400 calories in a round of golf. I wish I could play every day

    I shoot for 4000-5000 per week. As I am in fat-loss phase, I try NOT to eat my exercise cals.

    I am burning from 3500 to 4000 a week and I can't eat that much more food. I have not lost an ounce in weeks.

    Which is why I keep asking these questions. I think my body is stuck in a hormone rut right now and just won't budge. I do feel good. I will try to be patient.



    Onward and upward!

    Alice I hit the same kind of rut or plateau depending on what you want to call ita few yrs back when i was much happier with my self and worked out regular. Agood friend who is a personal trainer followed me around for a day at the gym. Told me I was working out to heavy. That I was turning to much of my fat and food into muscle and breaking the muscle down to quickly. Had me switch up my regimen to a lighter weight with more reps and more cardio vs strength training. With in 2 weeks i was again dropping weight. He also told me to vary back and forth to keep my muscles in a state of "confusion if i wanted to keep losing." He says you should eat about 1/2 to 2/3 of your exercise calories. the % goes up as you near your goal.

    Change something. Reduce your calorie intake or increase it. You have to keep your body guessing.

    I will go for 2 weeks at a calorie target and for one week I will increase it by 400 calories.

    I also change my workout every 6-8 weeks including the days I work certain muscle groups, I change the exercises I do for those muscle groups, and the days where I do HIIT type cardio vs low pace steady cardio.

    Your body gets used to everything you do and if you keep it guesing it has to work harder to respond
