Did I exercise for at least 20 minutes? YES (bike ride and outdoor walk)
Did I stay within my calorie budget for the day? YES
Did I keep track of everything I ate and drank? YES
As for eating back exercise calories, sometimes I do and sometimes I don't. It depends on how hungry I am and how determined I am to lose weight for the week.
I also record my food either as I eat it or towards the beginning of the day if I know what my dinner is going to be.8 -
Yes, yes & yes. Whether I eat back my exercise calories depends on how hungry I am. Sometimes I do, sometimes not.

Juliemouse83 - SO VERY HAPPY to read you were negative....; Hope you guys can rest for a few days.
I am yes x's 3 today. The first time walk early this morning went well. (except I stupidly didn't wear socks...so big blister will need to be nursed for a day. Monday...you are done!6 -
Exercise: yes with a 48 minute brisk walk while listening to an audiobook from the library.
Tracked: yes
Within goal: yes
I try not to eat back, since I’m trying to loose weight. I plan my meals in the morning and the kitchen closes at 7:00 pm. However, I don’t beat myself up if I deviant from the plan.

I worked in my home office all day. My only exercise was a vigorous 30 minutes of active exercise. It's an easy day exercise.
Tracking: good
Calories: just under my limit.7 -
Yes x 3, I'm still trail running/walkng 3x a week with my dog. Made it up to 14 minutes of running, then 45 minutes walking. I definitely eat my exercise calories, and feed my dog extra on trail days. In between, we're just walking the neighborhood, so we eat less.6

Yes X 3 for me. I eat my exercise calories back sometimes.7

Monday, 8/3
Tracking: Yes
Calories: under
Exercise: Yes, walk
Pass days to date - 1
I try to keep my deficit to less than 300 calories per day. Depending on how active I’ve been that day, I eat back some exercise calories to get there. I am in no hurry and I don’t like being hungry (no one I know wants to be around me when I’m hungry). I find MFP to be generous in calculating exercise calories so I use my watch to determine my total energy expenditure. I try to log what I’m eating as I’m preparing it - this way I know where I’m at especially with macros — if I don’t, I am way too low on protein. I have also been working on limiting added sugar and tracking in real time helps me adjust what I’m eating to keep it in check versus tracking at the end of the day and saying “ooops” even if I’m within my calorie goal. I tend to eat the same things, so posting usually entails the “copy to date” function.6 -
3rd August
Exercise: Yes, 30 ,minutes walking. The temperature went down from 40° to 30°, but still too hot to do much walking.
Calories: Yes, stayed under. My shop bought food was salad, less calorific than the curries.
Tracking: Yes, logged everything.
I try not to eat my calories back, but occasionally take a few when the maths doesn't quite work out. I find logging a bit of a pain sometimes, especially when I am trying new foods and have to look them up. Being in France doesn't help, I try and find the right brand or name, as the database often gives quantity in cups, which I cannot really work with. I try and plan ahead and log ahead, so I know what I can have.7 -
Today is my birthday, so I'm taking my first and only pass in August for it.
I did get in 28 minutes of barre upper body strength + 3 mile run this morning.10 -
Yes x 3
I do often use my exercise calories, but I am sure that I would reach my goal weight a lot quicker if I would stop!😜7 -
I more often than not eat some of my exercise calories but not today... Varies with me, back to work now so my 'crutch' is 4 hrs cleaning 'in the bank' which I don't count, any cleaning over 4hrs I do count...
Exercise yes 10 min quigong, 25 min leslie sansone, 30 min strength training, 150 min cleaning, 60 min walk, 20 min gardening
Tracking yes calories yes6 -
Yes- only 93 calories remaining but still didn’t go over.
Yes- 129 minutes on my exercise ring
Yes.
I tend to eat my exercise calories most times. It helps motivate me to stay active. I also have a all or nothing way of self sabotaging. If I go over my intake I keep going. I know it doesn’t make sense to go overboard like that but in the moment that is what I do. The exercise calories offer a cushion to help prevent that.7 -
Yes x3.
Exercise was a nice walk - beautiful day in this part of the world.
I eat back most exercise calories. I don't eat back from walking or yoga and mostly don't eat back 100% but if I'm hungry then yeah I will.8
