Please search the topic:
for those confused or questioning eating your exercise calories...a member named Banks explains this rationale very well...
Generally, just eating the amount of calories and not exercising will lead to weight loss...in order to exercise you need more energy in the form of food/calories to nourish your body...and it is too great a food deficit for your body if you don't eat those calories.

Please read the "Newbie" info under "all topics", and then under "general". Hopefully, that will answer your question.
You'll find that there's a huge debate between members as to whether or not to eat them. Some eat them all, some eat half, and some don't eat any. I myself eat MOST of mine, and lost the 45 pounds that I wanted to in 8 months, so, eating them worked for me anyway! :happy:0 -

I eat most, but try to stay under a bit. That way if I under estimated what I ate I wont be over for the day.0
