Exercise calories
My daily calorie intake is 1,200 and I try to exercise/workout 4x a week. Todays food diary was 761 calories and exercise at 718. That netted me 43, but I don’t want to “eat” back my calories. Can anyone explain to me how it works for someone who want to stay strictly withhin 1,200 calories a day while exercising?

Which activity tracker?

How do you know daily calorie intake is right?
I’ve been told by several people that my daily 1,200 calories is way too low for me. It does make me wonder why I’m still hungry some evenings or is this cuz it’s a new pattern of my eating habits?
