Don't eat your exercise calories

I found when I added my exercise to MFP and had the extra calories "allowable" I would just eat them because I was allowed. I find now that I don't eat my exercise calories (so I don't put my exercise into the diary) I manage perfectly find on my calorie allowance.
Just goes to show the power of the mind.
Try it and see how you go! If you're anything like me I can "allow" myself anything and try to justify it, so I don't need MFP telling me I can have those extra calories if I exercise...

You can make whatever half-cocked recommendation you want, but don't be surprised if people don't take you seriously.0

Me too except that I'm at 1,640. Because we tend to overestimate the amount of calories burned & underestimate the ones we take in so its better to be safe than sorry. Bottomline here is that if you eat more than you burn, you will gain weight & if you burn more than you consume, you will lose weight regardless if you're eating back your exercise calories or no.0
