Just wondering, do most people eat all the added calories after working out? Fitness pal adds about 200 calories to my calorie goal when I log my walking etc. so should I try to eat those? I am 2 1/2 months post op

Eeyoregirl... Haven't seen you on here in awhile... Hope you are doing well. I don't rely on them but when I go over cal wise I don't feel guilty cuz I have those built in from exercise

I love Fitness Pal

when you find out please let me know because I am so confused I can barely eat the calories I'm supposed to.

I use fitness pal as well and am also 5 yrs post op. I use the tool to keep track of cal, carbs, fat and prot. I have also been an avid runner for 4 years. I run 3 miles 3 days a week and one day a week I do long runs that entail 5 miles or more of running. I VERY rarely add the cals burned that fitness pal says I need I consume. We had this surgery for a reason and to go back to old habits isn't one of them. I sustain plenty of energy with the 1000-1200 cals I consume daily. Now you do have to learn to LISTEN to your body! If I do a super long run and end up with a headache, then I know I am needing to replace some calories, what I do then is have a Protein shake and that does the trick. Also keep up on your vitamins...very important.

Hope that helps.

Half Marathon done! 13.1 miler behind me....on to the next.
