[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I am using the lose it app and it has me at about 1300 per day.  When I add in exercise, it brings my allotted calories up.  When you are talking about 1500 calories a day, are you including exercise?

In other words- is it "cheating" to allow myself 1600 calories if I run a few miles?

God I hate getting old.  But better than the alternative...I guess?[/quote]

I don't count my exercise unless I really burn a lot of calories, like after a 10 mile run. But I also don't eat 1300 calories. I aim for 1600 and can lose at that if I am consistent and accurately tracking.

I find that most women who think the can only lose on 1300 calories a day are most likely eating more calories than they think. It tends to be a cycle of under eating for a few days, eating more one day, restricting again and then eating more on weekends. So overall they are averaging out to eating more than those 1300 calories. [/quote]

I find that my body does MUCH better on a "keep it guessing" cycle of eating where I fast 36 hours one day, eat restricted calories another, maybe eat 3 meals the next and cheat a little on the weekends.  It does average out calorie wise but IF keeps my body burning calories rather than powering down and adjusting to lower daily caloric intake.

IF combined with Keto is pretty darned effective.[/quote]
