"Should I Eat Back My Exercise Calories?"
http://seannal.com/articles/nutrition...

Should you eat back the calories burned from exercise? This is a question I receive fairly often, and quite honestly it's a bit of a confusing one that seems to stem from a basic misunderstanding of how fat loss works.

The basic principle of losing fat is to create an ongoing "calorie deficit" by burning more calories than you consume on a consistent basis. This is accomplished by taking in fewer calories through your diet, as well as burning more calories through exercise.

The combination of both ensures that your total caloric expenditure exceeds your total caloric consumption, and as a result the body will turn to its excess fat stores to correct the deficit.

So the question of "eating back calories burned" shouldn't even really come into play. Burning calories through exercise is one of the ways that you create your calorie deficit in the first place, so intentionally "eating back" those calories wouldn't make any sense.

Just find the right combination for yourself between reducing caloric intake and increasing your exercise frequency until you're landing somewhere in that standard 1-2 pound per week fat loss range.

Some people prefer to eat a bit less and do a bit less cardio, while others prefer to eat more and do more cardio; either one is acceptable and you just have to find the right balance for yourself since they'll both create the same bottom line result.

At the end of the day though, all that fat loss comes down to is managing energy input/output so that a NET calorie deficit is maintained in the big picture. Asking the question "should I eat back burned calories" doesn't really make any sense in the first place.

If your primary goal is to gain muscle then the same logic applies here, except that your goal will be to maintain a net calorie surplus (calories in should exceed calories out) and aim for around half a pound per week gained rather than 1-2 pounds per week lost.
