Hola
On the off chance of sounding a bit dim but bearing in mind there is no such thing as a stupid question (plus not sure if it should be on this thread or exercise one) so here goes.....
Lets say for example that I want to consume total 1700 cals per day which should entail weight loss - so I eat say 1800 cals and put that into myfitnesspal and then lets say I go for a long run which expends 2000 cals. In mfp it then says I am under budget and can have 1900 more cals and that if everyday were like today I'd weigh 13 stones in 5 weeks! (I take this with a large pinch of salt)
So what am I doing wrong as I'm bouncing between 15 and 15.5 for the last 2 months?
I know I haven't been totally accurate over this time (missed out a few binges) but have logged diligently from this week on.
Am I overestimating the value of exercise or am I just not logging food correctly?
Any pointers gratefully received.
