    Dear Rachel,

    I'm trying to lose weight so have just started aiming to eat around 1,600-1,700 calories a day.

    I've read enough of your columns to know that I need to be in a calorie deficit with plenty of protein! But what I'm not sure of is whether I should be eating back the calories from my workouts. I use my FitBit to track my heart rate and calories from my gym sessions and walks, so if it says I've burned 300 calories, does that mean I can eat 300 more?

    I'm new to tracking my calories so am not sure.
