Should i eat back my exercise calories on a 1,200 calorie diet!
If i burn 700 calories a day, how much should i eat
I use a fitness watch to track my calorie burn. Can I eat back the calories I burn if I'm trying to lose weight?
- Fitness trackers overestimate calorie burn by as much as 93%, studies suggest.
- It's better to create a calorie deficit through nutrition than through exercise, experts say.
- Workout in ways you enjoy to make fitness a sustainable part of your life, not a way to burn calories.

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.
