Who eats back what you burn & who doesn't????

I want to know: What kind of weight loss have you seen by eating back what you burn : and what kind of weight loss have you seen by not eating back what you burn. I'm currently not seeing a very high weight loss & I'm wondering if I should eat back what I burn...So I need input please..................

Hey there booster. hmm eating back... In my case i see it is the same, wether I eat afer i burn (no breakfast, hudge dinner :) ), or vice-versa (hudge breakfast - eating more than i burn during sleep - I consider the start of a day when i go to bed, small dinner) but i prefer to save my cal for late night :), as i totally enjoyeating in front of the pc at midnight :). I know it is exactly what we're advice not to do, but after testing it on my self i have noticed that the only thing that matters is NUMBER, i mean to stick to your daily plan. If you want to eat 1400/day, when or how you choose to eat it is not that important, all in one meal at 2 am or little 200cal snacks 7 times a day. When you come to healthy eating it... well that's another thing... 3 4 times a day veggies, carbs, percentage, blah blah blah :). So it depends on you mostly. Think what you want is most important to you and act accordingly. If you have only one goal, loosing weight, than you can do it any way you want as long as you eat less than you burn. Be careful, though, if you have a long history of dieting and binging your organism may not react as soons as you impose the dieting plan (it may take some time until it realizes what you want from it) but i assure you it will eventually react.

To some up: 1. Establish a cal goal and try to have a weekly Nutrition Report that sais you're doing fine ( an average of around your cal goal ).

2. Never eat less than 1200 cal/day cause your body might react to that (and start storing cals and water when he sees food again, being afraid of what you might do to it)

3. if you eat more than you burn one day try to eat less the next days and still have a good nutrition report.

4. Eat when your body asks you too - not over doing it; usually small amounts of food help it get over the "I'm so hungry right now i could eat a horse"

5. try not to skip meals even if you aren't that hungry, cause when you skip one you'll be asked to cover for it later.

6. treat your body as if it were a very smart spoiled kid that knows its rights and try to compromise and don't trick the small bastard too much - remember it is smart and it might get back at you

I read somewhere to eat something immediately after a workout (I usually chose and apple and string cheese) so that your body had something to burn (it could potentially attack muscle).  Beyond that, I try not to eat back what I just burned, I'm not really all that gung ho about 'no pain, no gain' so I'm really afraid of negating all that hard work I just did.  It seems to be working for me...

I don't eat back calories unless I am maintaining which I have been for the past oh month month and a half.  During the weight lose phase I did not eat back calories and I lost 30lb from June to about mid Sept. Then I wanted to maintain for a while so I ate back my calories burned so I would maintain that weight. And I did maintain give or take a pound either way.

What is your current weight lose rate. 1-2 pounds a week is normal and healthy. I lost a lot my first 2-3 weeks and then it tapered off to 1-2 pounds a week. 

My current weight loss is  about  .6 a week  so that's why this question is very important to me. Any other advice is needed!

I don't eat back calories, and I try to burn as many as possible, I have lost 3 inches off my waist.  

I try to eat 1500 calories a day, which creates a 500 cal. deficit. Now if I go running and burn 300 cals. I'll eat 1800 that day to maintain my 500 calorie deficit.

I've been on CC since mid-September and have lost almost 10 pounds. That includes two weeks of major slacking and a number of other days I ate over what I intended to. 

The great thing about exercise is you feel better and get to eat more food while still losing weight.
