I eat my exercise calories back, but not all of them.

First of all, I don't own any fitness devices. In addition, I'm not going to the gym right now (which has machines that measure calorie burn), plus I do a LOT of exercise at work due to the pandemic.

I don't know how many steps I take or how fast I walk, run, or do other exercise. If I exercise outside, sometimes I can measure the distance with my car and use the time and a math formula to come up with my speed and calorie burn, etc., but that gets to be too much.

Secondly, ordinary people like you and me (mostly not healthcare or fitness professionals) enter data into the MFP exercise datebase -- so it's probably not accurate.

It's better to lowball my exercise than give myself big calorie burns that most likely aren't realistic. I leave a buffer for safety.
