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!0
