Net Calorie Confusion!
So with my current settings on myfitnesspal, I'm supposed to be consuming 1200 calories a day, which I always do. However, I also exercise every day, usually losing somewhere between 300-700 calories. Normally, I will end up with only 800 to maybe 1000 at the most net calories for a day.

Do you eat back your exercise calories?
I made a post about net calories a while ago, but now I'm just wondering - do you eat back your exercise calories? My calorie goal is 1200 a day, and I eat that, but when I exercise every day my net calories are somewhere between 800 and 900 calories. I'm worrying this is too little and that I need to eat them back. I've…

Support for body hate?
Since starting my weight loss, I've just become a lot more conscious of the way my body looks as I'm both excited and I guess plain impatient to start seeing results. I've started to genuinely hate my body - I was doing a group Zumba class today and couldn't even allow myself to look at my reflection in the mirror, it made…
