qUESTION ABOUT THE EATING BACK THE EXERCISE CALORIES????? I TEND TO EAT SOME OF MINE BACK BECAUSE OF ALL THE READING OF HOW YOUR NET SHOULD NOT BE BELOW 1200.....ANY INPUT ON THAT?

Personally, I've learned not to bc if you think about it, the calories that you consume a day could b 1200, but if you work out and it adds on an extra 300 calories it's almost like, what was the point of working out if you're eating back what you burned?? I been doing mfp for a while now, but have actually stuck to it for the past 5 months and me NOT eating my calories back is the reason y I have been able to lose 30lbs in 4mnths..IF you feel better by eating back, then do it, but i almost never eat at least 1200 calories a day..at the most 900-1100. I also try and eat 5 small healthy meals a day as well, soo i dont really have to eat big meals to hit my 1200 unless im eating out or something like that..it really just depends on your body type and metabolism is. if you have a really quick metabolism, then hitting your 1200+ calories will b no problem to lose weight with a workout regimen, but if you have a slow metabolism like myself, even if i hit 1200+ calories, the weight wont come off the way i want to if im eatting 3 big meals a day bc the extra 2 small snacks are not helping my metabolism to process when it has small amout of found in my body, which means im not burning any FATall.

Remember its 80% of what you eat that helps you lose weight, but the more calories you burn means the more your metabolism will catch up with what you eat. the less calories you burn the harder it will be to lose weight..

Hope this helps!
