So I'm trying to decide how bad it would be to go over my 1200 calorie by 300 cals. I have burned 600 calories today exercising so I dont know if that would be too horrible..but I hate going into my exercise cals too much too

Opinions? thanks!

    1200 calories is awfully low ,I eat 1500 calories a day and I am losing weight , how much weight are you trying to lose? If its over about 20 lbs you should be fine eating 1500 calories today

    So your net for the day is 600 calories. You ate 1200 calories and exercised 600. Your net is 600? And you are wondering if you can eat 300 more?

    YES!!!!!! You should be eating your exercise calories.

    I always try to eat the majority - if not all - of my exercise calories back. Some days, like yesterday, I eat more than that. If I feel hungry or weak, I eat. So far, it's worked pretty well.
