The only way you would know hun, is to invest in a heart rate monitor. I bought one a few years ago and I can't do without it.

Great post and 100% accurate...Right now I'm trying to convince my sister who SHOULD BE on 1770 cals a day to lose 2lbs per week she burns about 1000 odd cals at the gym at least 3-4 times a week. But she only eats lunch and maybe occasional dinner and has put on 9lbs in two months and can't figure out why and all she says…

Gonna jump on the band wagon here ;o) I personally think it depends how much you work out in a week. As you said you don't really work out that much and only sometimes. If you worked out regular and often during the week, trust me but you will be begging to eat those exercise cals as your body will crave them after working…
