I have a question do you eat back your exercise calories? Can anyone shed light on this? thanks0

This looks very promising! Thanks so much for sharing it with everyone. Two follow up questions: (1) In your example, does that mean you are actually eating 1623 calories on Tues, or eating 1298 calories that day? And, (2) The chart created for me a different caloric intake each day. Do you adjust mfp each day or just stick w/ your lowest calories on the chart, i.e., 1298 in your example?
I eat 1298 calories on Tuesday (my lowest day). I have MFP set up to 1298 every day so on Tuesdays I don't do anything, just record the food for that day.
Today Wednesday (it's my highest day) I added a pre-set exercise (that I did myself) called "Wednesday zig-zag", when I made it I put 45 minutes (because I work out every day 45 minutes, you can put any number you want) and I put the calorie difference for Wednesday (for me is 638) so when I add it it says: "Nenabobena burned 638 calories doing 45 minutes of "Wednesday Zig-Zag"
I hope that answered your questions, if not I can elaborate again0 -
Do you add exercise calories to the amounts of calories to eat each day with the zig zag diet or do the amounts given take into consideration your estimated exercise calories?0

okay so I guess I will admit to still being a little lost (sorry)!! So for example if i have a 1460 calorie day based on the calculator (which is a real example) do i eat ONLY the 1460 even though on that same day I run for 45 minutes and burn 600 calories...then i am only working with 860 calories which according to MFP that I am eating too few calories.
I like the idea alot but I am just unsure.0 -
I think I may just copy the chart it gave me and change it manually everyday. I'm not understanding how you did yours I guess. Or i could use the maintenance it gave me and then net the number they showed me on a daily basis with or without exercise......I wonder if that would work....which is usually what I'm doing anyway.... hmm....lol. So confused. I only want to drop 11 more pounds
I don't log any other exercise on mfp, which makes it a little dull but as long as it works I am sticking to it0 -
I'm going to try this in a few weeks if what I'm currently doing doesn't start to work.
Thanks!0 -
