I'm not sure I quite understand this statement.
For example; According to MFP my daily intake is 1200. So is this saying I need to burn 1700 (+500) calories per day in order to lose weight successfully? This really doesn't make a lot of sense to me. This would mean many hours of exercise to burn them, right?
If I was walking 4 miles per hour, it burns approximately 320 calories. So I would need to walk somewhere between 5 and 6 hours to burn the 1700.
And I'm definitely not burning that much. At the moment for the month of July, I'm taking it easy exercise wise and each month moving it up a scale.
So confused about this. Anybody able to explain this to me?
