Here
is a tip for anyone using MyFitnessPal to track calories.
If you are
exercising and don't know how much calories you burnt, try to put a
small number for the exercise, this way mfp will only ask you to eat
that much extra calories and you don't end up eating more.
Explanation:
MFP calculates calories required as Calories Needed = Calorie Intake + Calories Burned with exercise. what it means, if your calorie target is 1800 calories and you did not do any exercise then you'll need to eat 1800 calories.
i.e. Calories Needed = 1800+0 = 1800.
If you worked out and burnt 100 calories then
Calories Needed = 1800+100 = 1900.
So the point is, if you dont know how much calories you burned, then putting a small number is better (for weight loss), that way MFP doesn't bump up the calorie needed.
