I've been using LoseIt and there's a section to log exercise. LoseIt then does a 1-1 conversion on what you log, giving you "back" the additional calories in your daily budget. My question is for folks who do high intensity cardio -- do you treat this modified budget as fully legit? Or do you try to stay a little further under? I am a cyclist and routinely ride 30-50 miles in a day at what LoseIt calls "racing speed" (lol) of 16-20 mph. I wear a fitness tracker and feel reasonably confident in its calorie burn estimates, so I put those numbers in.
Obviously I'm hungrier when I do one of these rides and I certainly replace some of the lost calories by eating more, either on or after the ride. But I'm looking at 1000 cal additional deficit like, it can't be smart to fill this whole thing in? Idk I'm very new to CICO of any kind and have never tried to do any sort of dieting, and I'm still getting accustomed to feeling a bit hungry more often. So I guess I am just doubting my judgment here and looking to hear what other folks do. I don't want to do any harm to my body or approach weight loss in an unsustainable way; at the same time, I would happily eat 3000 calories every day if I could, that's how I got into this situation in the first place!
