[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Just wondering what's the recommended practice here. I just started counting calories and am trying to stay within 1200/day (which is harder than I thought!). I did a 45 min ride this morning (climb ride w/ CDE, if it matters). Do folks generally subtract the calories lost while working out to stay within their daily goal? (I know I'd lose weight faster if I did not subtract them.) [/quote] What exactly is your goal here? I don't see any benefit at all, either to your overall health or any fitness goals, to ignoring exercise when counting calories. A 1,200 day limit is low even for a sedentary person; if you are exercising on a regular basis, your body is going to need more nutrition than that. I tracked calories for years, but I always linked my food intake app with my Garmin watch or I manually inputted my exercise to get a rough idea of how much food I needed to take in to maintain some type of balance.[/quote]
