Hi Everyone!
I was wondering if anyone actually habitually eats back exercise calories shown on my fitness pal everyday when they are trying to lose weight?
I usually feel plenty satiated with what I normally eat everyday which is the intake calories it gives me before giving me those bonus calories from exercise. I exercise 5 times a week doing 30 minutes of strength training and 20 to 30 minutes of intermediate steady state cardio, and MFP shows anywhere between 300-500 calories that I'm technically supposed to eat back.
But with most calorie tracking apps underestimating how much you eat, and overestimating how much calories you burn, I have kind of been just sticking to eating around my recommended calories and working out at the usual intensity, which causes me to lose between 1 and 1.5 pounds per week.
Given the current progress, I don't see a reason to try to eat those calories back as I feel good and satiated, and give myself quite a few treats as well (cookies, order twice a week) and am still able to lose weight.
What are some stories of you trying to eat back those calories and how did it effect your weight loss?
Thanks for reading and good luck everyone!
