I'm brand-spanking new to this board, and just started counting calories on Sunday. I've done the cc once before, after my third child was born, and lost 20 lbs in a matter of a couple months, so I know it works well. But what I don't remember is this:
My calorie goals are 1200 for the day. Yesterday I did a workout that calculated I had burned 1600 calories (hiked, with lots of hills, for almost 3 hours). I stayed conservative and entered 1100 calories burned into MFP.
We had an event last night, so I let myself have dessert there, which went over my 1200 allotted calories by about 500, but how many extra calories should I consume on a big workout day like yesterday? Or should I consume any at all?
