Your take on calories posted by restaurants?
What do you guys think about the calories posted on menus and such? For example I order the pasta primavera in a tin pan (not bread bowl) and the online nutrition guide shows the whole thing as 540 calories.

You get extra calories by working out??
Ok I'm kinda confused about the calories you're expected to eat, and the calories you get when you work out. A I suppose to eat the extra calories if I work out? If I don't am I under my calorie limit? Why would myfitnesspal give us extra calories to eat?
