Xenical, how many calories should I be eating while on Xenic

There's no need to eat any more or less whilst on Xenical. Eat the recommended number that MFP has given you.

I've not had it before but I've done the Alli diet and my sister has had Xenical and I think your main focus should be keeping your fat to be a bare minimum, which normally in turn keeps your cals down. I do a 1200 cal diet every day which is the lowest you should do before your body goes into starvation mode, so maybe do that?

I am doing Alli and I go by what MFP recommends. So far seems to be working well. Good Luck!

I asked the same question last week... and the advice I was given was that yes you should eat back your exercise cals as the MFP guidelines are already putting you in a calorie deficit.

I thought this whole idea was a bit foreign to be honest, because it's always been drilled in to me that to lose weight you need to eat less, but if you don't eat your cals back your body will do the opposite of what you want it to do and it's likely to go into starvation mode and store up as much fat as it can.

I normally eat most of mine back, but not all purely because I struggle to eat that much in a day! I've been exercising every day for the past 10 days and I've lost half a stone so far so seems to be working for me. I'm always mindful to make every calorie a good calorie if I can though - eating a Mars bar is often way more tempting and will use up my calories, but then there's the fat content which, as you'll know, when you're on Alli or Xenical will have baaaaad side effects! :P

Give it a try and just keep your eye on it for a few days. x
