My Fitness Pal

I. When you log food, do you log exercise? If you do, do you eat the calories the app adds back in? Just wondering!

I was wondering the same thing. I always thought of it as extra. As if we ate extra food that day we did not go over our intake. If we had some left then it was extra calories that we burned to add to our weight loss.

It depends on the day. I use it like my credit card... It's there if I'm in a pinch, but I try not to use it otherwise. If I do end up using it though, I don't beat myself up as long as I stay under my calorie goal.

I us my fitness pal religiously to track food. I also have a fit bit which syncs well with it. I do not compensate for exercise or activity, I guess my philosophy is that I see the activity as a bonus. I do expect I will have to adjust Protein intake in the future as I adjust exercise levels particularly with strength training.
