    I like to burn at least 500 a day. I usually eat back 250-500 of them.

    I burn 500 cals a day on average but I'd love to burn over 1,000 a day. Yes, I eat back my cals..some days all of them and some days not. Depends on how hungry I am.

    I like to burn from 500 - 1000 calories. There are times I can go way over board. Then again I do eat half the cals back at times.

    I aim for 2-2.5k on weekdays and 1k+ on weekends. Tend to eat back around the first 500 or so.

    It depends on the day, I have done as many as 2348 in 3.5hrs but I average 300-700 a day 4-5 days a week and I try my best to eat em all back

    I generally only track my cardio, which is anything from 300kcal to 1000kcal. I pretty much always eat them back

    Usually around 200+ but I'd love to burn 500+ daily. I do eat them back if I can; but I don't force myself to.

    I try and average 500 a day and I nearly always eat them back. I'm aiming to increase that to about 700 and leave the extra as a deficit.

    Usually 750-1000 depending on if I've gone to the gym or just cycled everywhere!

    I eat most of mine back, that's the best bit of burning so much!

    Depends on how I am feeling, but usually over 600 and I don't always eat them back.

    On workout days at least 600+. And I normally don't wind up eating them back because most workout days I don't eat that much as it is.i hate training on a full stomach. Ughhhhhh!!

    when working out i aim for 500+ burn. Usually i burn between 500 & 800 each session. i "rarely" eat them back.
    Only if my body "needs" them.. If i have a day when Im really hungry, I'll eat into them.

    If you're doing that just make sure that you eat a bit more as well and make sure it's the right kind of foods. You'll sweat a lot so make sure you get enough salt so you don't start cramping up etc, your body will stop you if you don't eat right as you do it...trust me!!

    I shoot for between 500 and 1000 calories but I don't eat back my calories. If you are cranking up the calorie burn with more than just aerobic exercise make sure you keep your protein up.

    I burn all that I want - between 800 and 1000 every day, and yes, I eat them back, because our daily goals already reflect a deficit for healthy, safe weight loss.

    These days I'm happy with a 200-300 a day burn. I eat them if I'm hungry for them.

    I used to burn (and will again) 600+ a day and yes I did eat those calories...maybe not always all of them, but definitely half to 3/4

    I burn 700-1300 a day and try to eat all of them back but some days I fall short. I may try to eat more nuts to eat most if not all of them back as MFP already has a 750 calorie deficit built in.
