Eat ALL or just MOST of Exercise Calories
Okay, I understand the importance of eating back exercise calories so my body has enough fuel to build lean muscle and burn fat, BUT how much of those exercise calories am I supposed to eat? I repeatedly keep seeing posters on here tell me to eat them ALL and I see several telling me to eat SOME or MOST. Which is it? Which…

HIT Calorie Burn?
I meant HIIT calorie burn for the title. I don't know much about HIIT, but I'm researching it and I'm about to start doing it on my elliptical once I buy some new batteries.

Still waiting...
I am just frustrated by the amount of work I'm doing keeping track of calories, exercising each day, staying under my calorie goal and then looking at the scale. It won't budge!

I didn't know what it was and the nurse who called with my results didn't help so I got upset and stopped at McDonalds. I got a small frappe and small fry. Now I feel so guilty. I was doing so good. Ugh. I hate bad…

How many "exercise calories" should be eaten?
I just joined this site and have noticed since I've been adding various exercises to my exercise diary that I end each day in the green with additional calories left over. I know this is good, but how many exercise calories is too much to have? I always usually eat up to 1200 calories a day, sometimes over, but at the end…

Push through it or day off?
I am soo sore I can't even hardly walk from my first night of kettle bells. Should I push through and do it or take a night off? I think I will do a short workout to burn some cals.

Nov. 8, 2010 - My First Day!
Hello! I just discovered this app on my iphone and I love it. Best part- it was free! I just discovered the site as well. I logged in all of my food and exercise and managed to stay under my caloric intake by 9 calories. I know I probably always go over. I hope this tool and site help me to realize just how much I'm eating…
