    I mean – if you run and burn off 200 calories for example – do you replace those or stick to 800 still? Sorry if I’ve repeated or missed this?

    You shouldn’t add in any extra ‘exercise’ calories to your 800. So if you do exercise, you are getting more help in losing weight.

    The only exception to this is if you are doing extreme exercise – long runs or bike rides – and feel weak, in which case you should perhaps look at your calorie intake for the day.

    Hope this helps! 🙂
