  • I don't always eat back the calories, because I think it can be a slippery slope for me. I usually work out in evening right after work and to help avoid eating back the calories I don't eat dinner until after the work out. I keep my net calories in my maintenance range of 1200-1400.

I had to take classes, do monthly nurse phone calls, homework etc. The classes train you for what to expect, what to do, what to eat, how to eat, how to move etc. It is set up to relearn to eat and the purpose of food.
