    I get confused also. Is that 1710 NET or TOTAL cals?

    NET. So you have to eat back what you burn.

    This is about the gas example...I think I replied incorrectly or something because I didn't get that cool box.

    wow, thanks. so my net should be 1200 then? meaning technically I can eat 1600 as long as I burn 400?

    I didn't write this with the intention of linking giving it out as general advice in the forums, but I think it can really help you: http://www.myfitnesspal.com/blog/UponThisRock/view/eating-back-exercise-calories-232630.

    PM me if you have any more questions.

    the link did not work.

    also, I am not VERY over weight, but I AM over weight, so I think I can maybe eat a little less before my body starts eating my organs instead of my fat? I know that sounds aweful, but i have a lot of fat to lose.
    i'm just trying to understand this a bit more.

    The link works, just take the period off the end of it.
