cathrobinson 6 Jan 5:58pm, 6 Jan 2025 13,214 posts	Quote Pin cathrobinson I'm currently on 1500 cals as set by MyFitnessPal. It lets me eat more if I've burned calories through exercise though... I can never fathom whether I can eat those or if they were already taken into account in the 1500 recommendation. Either way, last time I actually stuck to using the app, I lost weight...
LipGloss 6 Jan 6:05pm, 6 Jan 2025 79,496 posts	Quote Pin LipGloss I never set mine to eat back some exercise calories. Think I more than enough anyway. Just need to add in healthy snacks or add more for lunch.
Shades 6 Jan 6:17pm, 6 Jan 2025 5,679 posts	Quote Pin Shades That's a nice display LG, plenty of info. I don't add my exercise calories either. That wouldn't work for me as I'm just as hungry on a rest day. My calorie limit was set by my previous gym instructor based on an estimate of my BMR that the gym's body analyser calculates.

geordiegirl 6 Jan 7:12pm, 6 Jan 2025 26,086 posts	Quote Pin geordiegirl I don’t eat exercise calories hence aiming for 1800/day to keep a steady balance. Reality is I have around 1400-1500 more when I have wine or savoury snacks.
