Question...
If my maintenance calories is 2197. I only eat 1435 today. I'm deficient of 700 calories. I work out for 40 minutes burn 300 calories. Overall calorie burn should be 1062 for the day? So technically if I keep going at this rate I could lose just over 2 pounds ? Am I doing the math right ?

Calories?

Might be a dumb question but...
Does everyone count the warm ups and cool downs as part of their work out when logging ? I did a 47 minute work out but I'm unsure if I should log the full 47 minutes or minus the warm up and cool down. What do you all do? I have always wondered this
-
This might be a dumb question but just to clarify
If I consume 500 calories less and when I workout let's say I burn 200-300 calories. Does that make me 700-800 calories deficient? There for if I do that every day it equals out to be 5600 calories deficient for the whole week? So about 1.5 pound loss?
