I am using My fitness Pal to track my calories. I also enter my exercise... i burn between 200-400 calories a few days a week, and when i enter my exercise for the day, it minuses those calories burnt from what i have eaten. I have it set at 1000 calories a day, but i end up consuming more than that cos of the calories burnt! Something like 1200 to 1400 a day depending on how much i work out.... But my net calories is always in the green so less than 1000... anyone else entering their exercise?

The days i don't work out, it's not a problem, i just have to eat less.

I am in bandster hell at the moment so basically on a normal diet. I am losing weight and can definitely feel it, but i do get confused everyday as to what i should be doing.

Sorry you're in Bandster hell. It'll get better.

Maybe I'm not understanding your question... Is it that it is adding more calories to eat or subtracting them so you have less? If the latter, I've never experienced that. If the former, see below.

On the days that you work out, you can do one of two things, 1). not log it so you don't get confused with calories or 2). Manually review your calories to ignore the calories burned, i.e. you know your daily target, just subtract your calories eaten from that. Your ending calories should always be = or > calories burned.

I too use my fitness pal but I never eat the cals earned from excersie. Add me if you want and look at my diary I have set 1200 cals per day Taysidebell is my username x

Thanks for your replies

So the consensus seems to be you guys either don't enter the calories burned or ignore the "net" figure and go off the calories consumed. Damn haha

I spend 45 mins on a bike or lots of walking to burn those calories... Don't you guys get really hungry working out and eating so little? Or is it just my bandster hell hungry stage.. I'm really good with Protein and Water intake, but still, if I work out I'm sooo hungry and find it impossible to concentrate on anything. And I'm a busy gal!
