About This Group

Heart rate monitors have got to be one of the best motivational fitness tools out there. You can keep track of your body's exertion during workouts and compare that directly to your dietary intake. Best of all, you can share your workout results with other HRM users here who can provide great feedback and support. Share things like: Calories burned, Max HR, Avg HR, or whatever other results you want.

I'm a little confused.....

posted by belicious on 6:37 am

Hi. I have my calorie intake set at about 1,368 (I have it set to sedentary because I don't lose weight easily, plus I sit the majority of the day at work) to lose 1.5 lbs. per week. My question is...can I have more calories (about 200 more) if I know that I will be working out that day and still be ok to lose weight? What If I only consume my set calories plus burn extra calories, am I harming myself or is it ok? When I'm tracking my food and calories burned it still stays red, like I went over the calorie consumtion for the day. Any input would be appreciated. I use my HRM during workouts so I know exactly how many calories my body is burning.

from what i learned from Mark and the gang over at free and practical exercise advice is that you should eat your daily alotted calories plus the calories you burned. so if your daily allotted calories are 1000 and you burned 500 calories you need to eat 1500 calories. you can eat less but do not have a negative calorie count.
