1200 then add exercise cals on top, or higher but don't eat back exercise cals? Help!
Hello! I've had lots of unsuccessful weight loss attempts but that's behind me now and I'm determined to succeed. The only thing is I don't know whether to
a) assign myself a lower calorie target like 1200, then add in exercise on top
b) assign myself a higher calorie intake eg 1600 and don't add in exercise calories.
I exercise at least 30 mins a day, usually a run (am v slow!) or an exercise DVD.
I know long term it probably makes little difference, but I need to get in the right mindset of setting myself a calorie goal and sticking to it.
Thank you for any advice!
