Tag: Eating back exercise calories

According to MyFitnessPal, logging exercise essentially increases your daily calorie allowance for that day. This means that the calories you burn through physical activity are added back into your total daily budget, allowing you to consume more food while still staying within your weight loss or maintenance goals.

A study published in the *Journal of Medical Internet Research* found that most fitness trackers significantly overestimate calorie burn, with some having an error rate of up to 93%. So, am I supposed to eat the calories I burn, or is that a recipe for stalled weight loss?
