I'm just getting started back up counting calories (as of today, yay!!!). I'm back to using thedailyplate.com.
I set a calorie goal on TDP based on my goals and activity level. It says I should eat around 1,560 cal a day. So far so good. I got down to about 100 cal left for the day, and then I tracked my activity...that's where I get confused...
TDP added an additional 350 calories for me to eat based on today's exercise (45 min. spinning class). I'm not sure if I should eat those calories or just let them go as if I hadn't counted my activity. The confusion is that I thought my activity level was already factored in... I don't see why exercise would add to my available total.
What do yall do? I don't know if any of that made sense at all...
