[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][b]I only lost weight when I stopped considering calories burned. I eat at a deficit and ignored what the apps said I 'earned' or could 'eat back'.[/b] Exercise for me is just extra - firming, toning, mood lifting, fun, etc. Weight loss for me is from eating habits[/quote] This! Some exercise, especially cardio can increase hunger, but it's not because you really need those calories to recover. Unless you are training like an Olympic athlete you do not, and should not, be eating back calories. The vast majority of things that tell you calories burned in exercise are highly inaccurate. Then only time you should eat more when dieting is if you are losing weight too quickly (>2 lbs/week unless very obese). Reason being is that if you are losing too fast it means you are in too large of a deficit and likely losing a lot of muscle along with that fat and you want to avoid losing muscle as much as possible.
