Exercise Calories On Myfitnesspal

[wildrose1966 396]

Question for those of you on myfitnesspal..........when you add exercise, it gives you more calories in your daily total........do you regularly eat those calories???

[Gigi_Girl 77]

Sometimes I eat the extra calories, in fact, I believe that is the intent of MyFitness Pal. However, when I hit a stall, the nutritionist told me to stop doing that and to monitor my carb intact (which MyFitnessPal is great for). If you continue to lose with the net calorie consumed concept, I say go for it!

I use Lose It, which is essentially the same thing as MFP. I stopped logging my exercise entirely. I don't want my daily calories adjusted for exercise, and if I log exercise, it adds additional calories back.

I figure logging my exercise isn't important. I'm exercising and that is what's important.

Thanks.........I try not to use them (my spin class adds 800 calories - never would I eat an additional 800 calories - thinking extra piece of fruit or something), but nice to know I can use some to suppliment if I feel I need extra, especially after a workout.

I do not log my exercise because I do not eat my calories back. I need to keep mine accurate so I know exactly what I am doing. When I was trying to lose I logged my calories but I still did not eat them back. I always work my calorie Snacks into my daily plan. On the days I exercise I make sure I get 90+ gms of Protein by supplementing with Protein Shake but this 120=140 calories is part of my daily calorie intake but an addional 25 gms of protein.

Good advice. I think I will not log my exercise until maybe the day after (just to keep track).

I add the exercise but don't eat the extra. Heck I don't eat enough they say.

When you look at the bottom of the page it tells you how many calories you earned exercising. That is the number I look at because I like to burn what I eat! It is all personal preference. If you are not monitoring your exercise too you will not know how to adjust this when you hit a stall. And believe me, it happens! I am on one now for two weeks and I have started exercising twice a day instead of once to see if it changes this week.

I say don't do it. I noticed when I do I don't really drop weight. I kinda use that number to make sure I don't gain anything...will be more like maintenance when I get to where I need to be. I think you should stay focused on you pre exercise calories and carb intake mostly. But don't stop the exercise. I love MFP!

I will not be eating exercise calories............I will put in my exercise at some point after the specific day just to keep track.

I log my exercise, but my nutritionist told me to only use like 100 of the extra calories if I need a light snack after the work out.

I, too, log my exercise into MFP but I never use the extra calories. Although MFP says I can eat up to 1540 calories per day (without the exercise), I stay around 1200. This is what works for me.
