Please can someone advise - if im on 1200 and i earn calories through exercise of for example, 300, if i then eat all of my net calories of 1200 will i still lose weight?

    This is a contenious issue on MFP there are basically 3 camps
    Those that don't eat exercise cals but eat all their pre exercise cals
    Those that eat all their cals pre and post exercise
    And those that starve themselves
    So you'll get a mixed bag response.

    Personally, I feel it is a variant that you need to establish for yourself, I eat half of my exercise cals as a general rule, this is because i do a lot of exercise and I can't physically eat them back. Also I did experiement and if I do eat them back I gain weight.

    So I feel the solution is to try a week or two eating all exercise cals and if you gain or lose no weight, then half them and see how you go.

    Good Luck! :)
