Which is worse? no exercise or exercise without enough calor
I am at 1120 calories for the day. So I am already under 1200. I have enough time for about a 30 minute walk/jog on the treadmill and I would burn 200-300 calories.

CONFUSED about earning calories through exercise
I currently do not log my exercise because then the calorie counter says I can eat that many more calories above my normal total. That confuses me because if I work so hard to lose those calories why would I turn around and put them back in my body? It would make sense to me if I was trying to maintain my weight but I am…

another newbie
Hi everyone. I've been using the app for this site on my phone on and off for a few months. I love it. I dont log my exercise though. Just the foods. I struggle to get enough calories in (yeah I know weird) so this helps remind me to eat. I have been working out with a trainer every week and making diet changes. In 7…
