    I've been using my fitness pal for about 6 weeks now.  I wasn't exercising regularly the first month, but I am now.  I've been burning 400-600 calories a day exercising.  I'm allotted 1270 calories to lose 1 lb a week, and since I've been exercising, I usually eat around 1400-1500 calories.  I never feel hungry, and I eat healthy foods, but my net calories are usually around 900-1000 calories.  Everyone on MFP says I should be eating ALL my exercise calories, but if I'm not hungry and am eating throughout the day (every few hours from 9 am- 9pm), do I really have to?  Are just a few hundred extra calories enough?

    @Boston Bee:  I asked my PT this and she said not to. She said if I am hungry I can eat an extra snack but to keep it around 200 calories. Good luck! :D

    I think as long as you are feeling healthy and have energy you have to do what feels right... but I have no education to back me up and that.  I think your body would tell you if you needed more though.
