To lose weight, can you eat back the calories you burned during exercise?
I want to lose 10 lbs and get toned by summer. My current calorie deficit is about 1450 calories per day. Is it ok to eat my calories back that I burned during exercise or is better to just stick to my 1450?

Why aren't you allowed to set water intake goals?
Water intake is a cornerstone of any fitness plan and should be adjusted according to exercise, weight/BMI, fiber intake, etc. How does a food and fitness tracking app not have this feature - especially when they want you to pay for a premium subscription?

When the day ends
Usually, I don't count my end of day cal untill I go to bed around 2am cuz sometimes I'll eat closer to then. I would count this as technically the day before. The app starts over at 12, so should I continue how I am or end my day at 12 and just count any drinks or anything to the current day. Same for workouts. I usually…

Coffee lovers who calorie count
Is there a coffee that you enjoy drinking black? I have tried a couple but nothing seems to stick for me. I usually put Coffee Mate hazelnut creamer but the calories add up. I just tried Starbucks Espresso and Cream Light (in a can) 6.5fl oz it is 70 calories. It tasted great and kept me energized. Another plus is being…

Cheat meals
When first getting started, how many cheat meals should I allow myself to have per week or month? My goal is 50 pounds. I don't think I should cheat on my diet too early at all. My boyfriend says "depriving" myself will cause me to be tempted into messing up.

Did I mess myself up and is the pounds I lost muscle?
For context, I think I have been reading the app wrong and not eating the proper calories. I assumed that I can only eat under my goal calories even with exercise. I do know that the listed goal is what I can eat to lose weight without exercise (1530), but I thought that burning what I ate with exercise is what was needed…
