I do that pretty much all the time. I average it over a period of one week so it's smoother. The reason is my running pattern - 2 long (10miles +) runs a week, followed by 4 short (5 miles +) runs and 1 day break (around 2.5miles). That way my calorie intake would oscillate between 2500kcal and 4000kcal which to me is…

I wouldn't worry too much about these unused calories. First of all it's all approximation (unless you eat perfectly measured doses of sugar, fat, protein and alcohol) so your, say, 1500 calories may well be 1600 or even 1700 calories. Secondly I personally don't believe this myth of "eating more lose weight" or…

Been through this so many times and you know what worked for me? Putting on my running shoes and while shouting "f*** you scale", running around. Always made me feel so good and took away any frustration or stress.

I'd say the only problem with eating back exercise calories is that they can be hard to measure accurately and some people tend to overestimate (that short walk to a shopping centre, walking up stairs once a day and so on). Other then that it's your choice :-) By the way, I eat most of them back (around 75%) except when…

Don't drink anything for a week. Or if you really need to drink work in a mine for that week :-)

Low fat cottage cheese (300g/10oz) = 200kcal (2g fat) Nut granola (25g/1ounce) = 120kcal (7g fat) Fat free yogurt (150g/5oz) = 100kcal Flakes e.g. corn, wheat, special flakes (15g/.5oz) = 80kcal Loads of protein, carbs and low fat. Totals around 450kcal, 50g carbs, 40g protein (so you feel full for long), 10g fat mostly…

I personally do not do that. In the end, it's just a walk in a park right ;-) And if you do I'd advice not to eat it back, unless you want to maintain your weight, not lose it.

Do the same. I exercise in the evening too but count calories for the next day, so I know exactly how much I burnt and how much is remaining. Basically I eat my yesterdays exercise calories today, that's what it is.
