    :laugh: when you work out like, a lot, you are required to drink your burnt calories. Also, the drink must include vodka or rum and fresh fruit.

    since I am a big girl my calorie count is HIGH so I dont eat my workout calories i just try to eat my max calories. If I do go over it is with something of nutritonal value not a snickers bar. :wink:

    My opinion is to NOT eat the exercise calories if you can help it. Your daily calorie level should be where if you didn't exercise, you would still slowly lose weight. The exercise calories are a bonus to the weight loss effort. Since you have to burn 3500 extra calories to lose one (that's right 1!) pound, I do my best to not consume by exercise calories. However, not always good at that and will sometimes eat some of them; but always aim to have calories left over if possible.

    This. I was initially against eating exercise cals but now I just make sure I net @ least 1200 on exercise days. Some days I eat all of my exercise cals and am still losing.

    Thank you for that website, you genius. By the way, I doubt you've noticed, but I apologize for deleting you off of my friends list. You're a cool guy, and pretty funny, but dammit your fan club is ridiculous! lol
