Increase points when working out?

  • Hi all - should you increase your calorie intake when you are intensly working out? I am on the weight watchers system and just wondering if I should use all or none of my earned activity points?
  • I choose to use my activity points before using weekly points (I don't usually use many weekly points). I usually use them mostly on the day I do the exercising. This seems to work out well for me. Be careful about counting activity points though as many overestimate them.
  • This is going to be one of those things you'll have to experiment with and see. I don't eat my activity points, but I do dip into my weeklies on days when I've had higher than normal activity (that's not the only time I use weeklies, but one of them). Since I earn more activity points per week than the weekly points allotment, I use the smaller amount, if that makes sense. But if I was going to use my activity points, I wouldn't touch my weeklies. It's one or the other for me.
