Ok so what works for you? I know everyone is different so I'm super curious to read what works for everyone.
How many calories do you intake before exercise?
How many exercise calories do you burn a day? How many of those do you eat?
How many days a week do you work out?
Do you set your calories at the same number everyday?
I'm 5'5", breastfeed a 18 month old, started at 210 lbs and am 192.
I eat 1700 calories a day.
Exercise about 300-500 calories a day, eat them all.
I try to exercise everyday. I run ( c35k) 3 times a week, go 30 day shred 4/5 days and go to yoga class once.

How many calories do you intake before exercise? depends on when i'm working out and what the workout is. but i dont specifically eat before going to the gym unless i'm hungry. for instance the last time i ate RIGHT before going to the gym was before a cardio kickboxing class. i was very hungry and knew i needed something to hold me over until i could eat a real meal after class, so i ate 3 oz of smoked salmon and a handful of blackberries. that got me through class.
How many exercise calories do you burn a day? How many of those do you eat? anywhere from 400-1000 depending on what's planned that day. lifting days always burn in the 800-1000 calorie range.
How many days a week do you work out? 6 formal days. the 7th day i either take a water aerobics class (if i can wake up), or walk to and from the grocery store. i lift weight 3 days a week, do 15-30 minutes of cardio on lift days and do 45-60 minutes or cardio or yoga on non lifting days
How many of those do you eat? depends. i go by how hungry i feel, but in general i dont eat my exercise calories back
Do you set your calories at the same number everyday? yep. i have it set to 1600 calories, but i dont really reach that exact number. some days i'm way under, other days i'm way over0 -
