    You're supposed to eat them, that's why MFP adds them to your allowed calories for the day.

    The best advice : Clean eating!, just try it out for at least a week. Although yoyu'll prbly fall in love and want to keep going.

    Google "the clean eat diet", look up some recipes & try out some simple ones! I promise if you can commit to it, it'll work!
    That paired with exersise is the answer!

    most people say YES.

    So your still reaching your intake of calorie goal.

    Although, if your wanting to lose weight, make sure there is a deficit !

    So, the total amount burned ( working out + naturally ) minus your calorie intake should = a positive number for weight loss.

    Example: Burned = 2500 and Intake = 2000 Then you would have a 500 calorie burn for the day which
    500 x7 days = 3500 calories = 1 pound weight loss per week.

    you're supposed to eat back your calories because MFP already takes into consideration you're BMR (how many calories you need for your body to function) then it tells you to eat less and that's the number you see on your profile. The deficit is built in. if you don't eat back your calories you risk going into starvation mode.

    See that's my problem I can't eat back all my exercise calories back, especially today I burned 600 calories, so that brings me up to almost 2200 calories to eat- I can't eat that much food

    Make sure you drink your water. I was in the same boat, and when I made sure I was drinking at least my 8 classes of water, I dropped 2.5 pounds. Try it.

    I'm in the same boat. After exercising today it bumped my 1200cal diet up to over 2000cals. I have managed to eat 1304 cals. and that's good for me. I'm just not hungry and I couldn't eat 2000cals unless I ate something unhealthy. What do I do?
