Who does not eat back exercise calories???

I don't eat my exercise calories. I may eventually when I start getting closer to my goal but in 2 1/2 months I've lost over 27 pounds. At first I exercised 5 days a week, now I exercise 6 days a week. Mostly cardio, some toning. I eat what I want (also a college student so limited to certain foods).

I don't. I just don't see the point. All it allows me to do is have a little more leaway with food that day, e.g. having that chicken leg with skin on this time, instead of off.

41 lbs down in 4 months, feeling great, not feeling like im depriving myself at all, feel i could go on like this forever, which is the key for me, as it means it wont ever come back

I don't eat back my exercise carbs...does that count?

I don't eat mine either when I work out unless I opt for a snack. As far as I can tell it's working for me.

I don't usually eat back ALL of my excerise calories, of course it's not for lack of trying. I eat when I'm hungry and drink tons of water. The days I work out are the days I'll eat a dessert, or have a starbucks. I never go all out though, i mean burning 600 calories is great but eating 2000 calories is what got me where I am in the first place, so I never eat back all of my calories..... maybe I will when I hit my goal weight or hit a wall, but for now I don't.

Hope this helps:) Good Luck

IS NOT ABOUT EATING YOUR CALORIES BACK BUT YOU DO HAVE TO EAT SOMETHING POST EXERCISE. I WOULD RECOMMEND A SHAKE FOR THE CARBS AND PROTEIN :DD

Ok, so I don't really have any weight to loose, numbers wise, for me it's about loosing the fat and putting on muscle. I do eat back all of my exercise calories though. If I don't I will be starving in the middle of the night, assuming I'm able to sleep at all. I do try to keep from going over them though. I recently changed from loosing weight calories (1200-1350+ exercise) to maintaining + exercise. I was only a little snackish after dinner and I slept all night with out being hungry. I think it really depends on the person and their individual metabolism.

if I dont eat back my exercise calories I feel like I will eat my arm off and even my left leg lol

Sometimes I do, sometimes I don't. Depends on it. I'm still alive.

I don't eat all of mine back. I think every person is different. I know my sister has to eat almost all of hers back of she stops losing immediately. If you do eat all or part of them back...make sure it's with healthy foods...maybe more protein than carbs.

I don't ,and my weight loss is going well.

People who don't exercise?

Love it!

I have to eat mine back. If my calorie deficit is too large I stop losing weight completely. For my body, with my genetics, it's more important that I just stay active, the calorie deficit isn't as important.

I would love to have a simple formula for losing weight...Help

If it were that easy, there'd be no need for forums, etc.

The only thing we know FOR SURE is calories in<calories out = weight loss. But even that isnt 100% guaranteed! That's why the phrase "everyone is different, each to their own!" is soooo true. Some eat back all their exercise calories and lose weight. Other eat them and dont lose weight. Some dont eat them and lose weight. Some dont eat them and dont lose weight. Its all about trying every method, and sticking with what works FOR YOU!

You can get away with it at first.i lost 80lb not doing, before loss ground to a halt.

Now i eat as and when i'm hungry, generally to my calorie allowance, but sometimes well into my exercise calories. I feel better physically and lose well with this approach. Listen to your body. If you are hungry or tired, eat!

I never eat my workout calories :-)
