I rarely eat my cals back. If I do, I normally lose very little weight that week. But I'm only 2kg (5 pounds) away from my goal, so I needa be extra careful.
Also, don't sit on your bum. No one got a hot *kitten* from sitting on it all day!
EDIT: In addition to gymming 3-4 times a week, twice a week I pole dance. Not to burn cals, but because I love it! Find something you love doing, and you'll stop thinking that way.0 -
Then sit on your bum poof problem solved
your welcome0 -
Best of luck on your muscle atrophy goals of 2012.0

when talking about one's bum, I prefer the word "Buttocks" It's in better taste.
Oh, and on topic. Yeah, who'd want to eat more because they worked out. That makes *no* sense whatsoever. Enjoy your 1200 calroies, "Sit on your buttocks, man/woman/thing!"0 -
Well they say a picture is worth a 1000 words.....
With alittle hard work and exercise, you can go from this....
To this......
and this.....
but if you would prefer to sit around and do nothing that is certainly your choice but I will continue to hit the gym
cause I like the way I feel and look....... Good Luck to you...................0 -
If you're not going to change a thing no matter what anyone says, what's the point in posting this?
It's obvious there are benefits to exercise, and you're getting them. It's obviously better to exercise than not to. Do whatever you want in regards to eating and the consequences are yours to live with.0 -

you do what ever you want dear. And after a few months, if you lose weight but feel fatter and softer then ever, just dig this tread. Goodluck0

think a lot of you are missing my point I do not and never have sat on my bum, I linedance twice a week , have 6 kids, 8 grandkids so always doing something, I DONT WANT TIO BE SITTING ON MY BUM BUTTOCKS OR WHATEVER, last year I was a size 10 about 9 stone, thanks to meds I GAINED WEIGHT but have lost 9lb in 2 weeks just saying that whats the point of anyone exercising if just gonna eat those cals, its a personal choice and for that reason I get fed up with peeps harping on about eat more cals all the time infact it actually makes me feel like giving up, I would never keep on at those eating their cals and more infact it would be very unkind to do so, for those who are genuine in their replies whether I agrree or not I thank you for those who make sarky comments or add stupid images well I thank you too for showing me whether fat thin or whatever im a neicer person.
FROM now on my diary goes into hiding and I wont bother posting anything as feel some just use these topics to just have a go at others0 -
Ed, you are such an inspiration to all of us! You are awesome.
I'm not sure what the point the OP was trying to make. That one flew right over my head. BTW, I have NEVER had a problem eating all my calories in a day. Not one single time...0 -
because as you lose weight, you're cal deficit needs to be smaller. If you don't eat you're exercise cals, then you aren't doing this the way MFP is setup. (cal deficit is in you're goal)
Then you lose weight with a fair proportion being LBM & you lower you're BMR & TDEE and then when you go back to eating at you're old "normal" amount you put on weight.
This is not just theory, that's what happened to me

I am sorry, but in all honesty, what was your point in posting this? I love to rant, so I could see if that was your purpose, go ahead and say so. Ranting keeps sanity and I can totally respect it. But why bring up a topic if you don't want any comments on it? I am NOT trying to be sarcastic. I am seriously wondering what you are trying to accomplish my stating all this. I doubt anyone who responded to this would have said anything about eating your calories back if you hadn't mentioned it first by creating a topic about it.0
-
My sentiments exactly...0 -
MFP already gives you a deficit so you get to eat back all or some of your workout calories to keep yourself strong enough to keep working out! DUH!0
-
You're right. Everybody else is wrong.
Tae bo anyone?0 -
Or take 3 seconds to "search" previous posts to see if someone has already asked your question and already taken the beating for asking it, again. Then, read that thread and ignore that information.0

Well said everyone. But, one friend wrote this recently: I lose weight in the kitchen and inches in the gym. A healthy attitude about food is that it is a necessity for your body. Stop thinking of it as a reward, but as fuel.0

Just a suggestion, no offense meant. Perhaps if you used punctuation you could better express yourself. I have a hard time reading your posts and perhaps that's why I can't understand your point.0
-
Why?
1) You get more calories to play with...yay food!!
2) You can help to maintain your lean mass (muscle) if you do strength training, meaning a less flabby look and more toned look once you get to your goal.
3) You improve your general fitness levels, and for me, I brought my blood pressure to a healthy level. Yes, I was 17, a "healthy" weight (around 135lbs at 5'8) and had borderline hypertension. This only changed once I started exercising regularly.0 -
without having pics think im banging my head, cant see my point so basically not gonna bother posting anything again as can do without the ridicule some are giving , although many have made valid points without having to be so sarky0

The calories from exercise are basically there to feed your new muscles. The BMR calories are just to keep your vital organs pumping (simplifying). So exercise calories are there to create the muscles that make you look nicely shaped.0

I have been following this program to a T and will say this. I have lost 40 lbs in just barely over 40 days so if I can do it so can you. It takes a little adjusting to jump start that metabolism but you can do it.

*Grabs a 100 calorie bag of popcorn! This could get interesting!0

then stop exercising if you're going to complain about it.
do what you want.0 -
Who said you have to eat those calories? I eat until I'm full, and then if I exercise, I just leave it alone. Drink some water!0
