i eat back my burn, and i (in theory) have a goal of 1250 calories, but usually actually eat (with burn and everything) about 17001
-
I'm 40, 196 lbs, allowed 1210 cal and sometimes eat my burned calories sometimes I don't...0

1600 net, so yes, I eat my exercise calories.0
-
I'm 22 and I allow myself 1500 but I usually eat about 1250 to 1350. I don't eat back my exercise cals.1
-
I usually eat between 1200 and 1500 cals a day. Whether I eat back what I burned that day or not usually just depends on how I feel. If I am hungry and it's not too late at night, I do. If I am not hungry, I don't.0

If I had my goal set to lose 2 pounds/week, I would probably extinct. I'm 29, 131lbs and 5'6''. My goal is set to 1200, which is maybe half a pound per week and I eat back only part of my exercise calories. I try not to have a deficit daily from the goal more than 200 calories. I still lost weight.0

1200 cals but I usually eat 1400-1500 cals per day (so 200-300 exercise cals that I eat back)1
-
1200 a day but sometimes - like tonight - I eat up to 1800 :P I gather it won't hurt too much once a week. We all need a break every once in a while.1

Im 22, allowed 1240 cal and I NEVER eat back my exercise cals.0

I'm 52yrs old, 5'7"....my daily allowed intake is 1400 cals. I don't eat my burned back,
and most of the time I don't eat all of my 1400 cals. I'm training for a sprint tri and
try to eat lean protein, veggies and complex carbs.
Good Luck with your plan!0 -
I'm 31, 198 pounds and I'm on 1600 a day right now as I lose weight that will decrease0

I am 55, 5'4", weigh 155 and eat 1,200 calories a day, on average, which is my suggested MFP calorie goal. I sometimes eat a portion of my exercise calories, but try not to eat more than half of them.0

I'm 121lb, small boned, 51yo, and I'm eating 1000-1100 cal/day. I always eat all of my exercise calories. I'm about to my goal and not losing much anymore.1

1600 calories/120g carbs daily under the care of an Endocrinologist.
Any exercise-food calories earned - it really depends on whether or not Im actually hungry... .If I am, I will have a protein smoothie using Designer Whey, if not, I usually fill up on water...0 -
My base calorie goal is 1720, but I usually end up eating between 2000-2100 after my exercise calories are added in. I would die if my calorie goal was 1200! LOL2
-
I'm 178 lbs and 5'11". I net between 1800-2000 calories a day and I eat anywhere between 2,000-2,600 calories a day. I eat back all of my exercise calories.1
-
My goal is 1200 but when you add back in the exercise calories I can go up to at least 1800 on any given day. I usually stay around1250-1400.0
-
I was netting 2000 calories a day and losing about a half pound a week, so yeah, eating exercise calories.
Now I'm kind of trying to maintain but not really trying to hard (eating more, often) and I'm not sure what my maintenance level is...0 -
1,220 and I can't wait to exercise so I can eat more.1
-
I'm 29, 143lbs and my calorie goal is set at 1200. I usually eat back most of my exercise calories, depending on how hungry I am.1
