[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Ya you only need to eat back exercise calories if you are doing seriously strenuous exercise for an extended duration of time (1.5 hrs+) , think marathon or triathlon training. Most people are not even close to burring enough calories to need to eat more and things like watches that tell you calories burned are incredibly inaccurate. [/quote]

This is the correct answer. And, other than a bike power meter, none of the other calculators are correct. I train for middle distance triathlon (half and 100KM), and I do eat around my workouts and fuel them, but I don’t count anything. I watch the scale to make sure I’m not dropping weight eat real food. This year I’ve got it really tuned and I’ve been hovering right where I want for months.

I was on my bike this morning and then running after. I’m about 1800 in the hole today and I won’t really go out of my way to “eat that back.” Though, as noted above, I am very intentional about eating, especially for injury prevention reasons. [/quote]
