When your daily log adds extra calories that you get for the day from exercise do you eat them or not?

    Your program already has you on a calorie reduced diet for all your data..height, age blah blah. The extra calories are earned, like a reward. If you didn't eat them you may end up with a plateau in your weight loss due to too few calories consumed! So enjoy your hard work! (with healthy snacks!)
