  • I love Zumba and I have been going to a 60-min Zumba class 2 times a week. They are pretty high impact and I burn a lot of calories....I am definitely above my "fat burning zone" which is why I raised the question that I raised.
  • I asked the exact same question a week or so ago when I first started and I have learned that yes, you should eat your exercise calories b/c your body needs that energy.

  • I have entered my exercise calories for the day and the above numbers are what I see right now when I look at my profile. Just trying to figure out if I need to eat more or not? I am feeling a bit hungry...
