Salad...its full of water so it will make you feel full. Dressing on the side.

I agree, You don't have to eat back your calories.

First, Calm down. there are a number of reasons why your scale weight is steady. Try changing up your exercise routine. And if you haven't already done so, try weightlifting. (You don't have to do heavy weights). Weight lifting will help turn some of the remaining fat into muscle, which should reflect what you see in the…

By the way, I am definitely in the "you don't have to and probably shouldn't eat your exercise calories" camp.

Your weight goes up and down during the week so don't worry about it. It is not an indication of where your actually weight is.

Sjoy has the best answer.

Bank the calories if you can. It will leadl into even more weight loss. Only eat when you are hungry.
