[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Yes but exercise (particular high intensity cardio like running, and lifting heavy weights) will burn calories even after you've stopped.

Your running calories seem pretty low though - are you super duper tiny? Did you run the whole time, or walk also? I burn about 300 running a 5k.

I credit exercise bigly for my weightloss. For one, I exercise in the early morning and it prevents me from over eating too much the night before. At the end of the day, weightloss is a numbers game - your calories burned (active + bmr) has to be more than the calories you intake. Exercise has infinite benefits besides burning calories though, so please don't stop it for that reason. [/quote]

OP here. At the end of the day, my total calories burned was 1931 (585 active). I ate 1336 calories. My first full day tracking although I’ve been exercising and watching what I eat for a week now. I’m 115 pounds. Trying to lose 3-5 lbs.[/quote]

No I’m average height at 5’6, 5’7 ish.

Are you under 5 feet?! Unless you're like 4'8" OP, you do not need to lose 3-5lbs.[/quote][/quote]

So you are 5'7" and 115 lbs and you want to lose 5 more pounds?  Please seek help- I mean that in a sincere way OP[/quote]
