    The answer she gives is right for the question asked HOWEVER you didn't tell her that MFP already sets you a deficit. I'm sure her answer would have been totally diferent then.

    Ask again and this time give her the full story
    The answer matches perfectly for already having a set deficit. When you DONT have a set deficit is when you don't eat back workout cals. You must have something backwards.

    While it's hard for me to embrace eating more to lose weight, it's true that it works and I have felt so much better since trying to hit my calorie day every day.

    I would like to know what the answer would be if you manually set your calorie count....I set mine at 3000 calories....so If I do two workouts that day where I burned approx 1200 calories...I am not going to eat back calories...I don't think this apply to everyone.

    What does this 'Bump' mean that I am seeing so often???
    Its a way to boost the thread...the more posts the more often the thread occurs in the forum on an internet site...check this out:
    http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bump_(Internet)

    I will say most people seem to use it incorrectly...they say things like BUMP for later reading...well they must have had their own ideas as to what bump means, because they are using it incorrectly!

    i wish i was more aware of this, at the beginning of my fitness journey! i feel so frustrated by the misinformation we're fed-- esp. women. ugh, the dieting industry now makes me angrier than ever. :(

    Awesome post - thanks for sharing... just out of curiousity (and not that I want to do this) but how in the world do they lose those big numbers on the biggest loser. I don't supposse they are eating back their exercise calories but they consistently do it every single week! I have just been always curious about that because technically they should be plateauing because their body is going into starvation mode for like 4 months!

    I completely agree with everything this woman wrote!!

    I am ALWAYS over my calorie intake that MFP sets for me and its set to maintain my current weight. There is no way I can be happy eating 1690 calories a day and have enough energy to weight lift. Im usally close to 2000 if not more on the days I lift and when I eat back what I burned, I feel great, not deprived. Granted, Im not trying to lose weight and I know everyone is different but I have learned to listen to my body as this woman wrote, eat whats right for me and eat in moderation. and when I want a few extra chewy gooey chips ahoy cookies, then dammit I will eat them!!
