Are the people on The Biggest Loser eating back the 3500+ calories they burn a day?
The people on The Biggest Loser are also morbidly obese. Morbidly, as in, on the verge of chronic illness that leads to death, because of their obesity. Furthermore, they're under tedious medical supervision as well as having personal trainers and certified dietitians. If you have all those conditions met, then sure, eat next to nothing and work out all day. Have fun.0 -

Yay!
Exercise calories are yummy.0 -
=\ I have a friend who thinks she needs to eat back her exercise calories...thus putting her at well over 2500 calories a day. That doesn't seem right to me...so I say nay!
If she's using MFP's numbers - she's right. MFP DOESN'T figure in exercise, they assume you'll add that once you do it, not take a guess ahead of time what you might do like on other calorie calculation sites.
You do need to be reasonably confident of the accuracy of the food and exercise calories you are entering - but as long as you are pretty close you can eat all those calories and still lose weight. How good is that??0 -

Yes!
Honest reporting of exercise and food. MFP already has a built in deficit. Exercise calories are earned! Enjoy them! We all didn't become heavy from eating....we became heavy from not moving enough. Concentrate on your net calorie target, not actual calories. Athletes eat tens of thousands of calories during training season... key is to MOVE!0
