I have been recommended to eat 1400 call a day to lose weight (this is wit a deficit). But when I exercise, can I make up the difference I've just exercised?

TIA

Hi and welcome, AR

You can get the correct calorie allowance for you, by entering your details into the NHS BMI calculator. This takes exercise into account and doesn't need to be altered after each workout.

To make navigating the forum easier, we've put all the information you'll need in a newbie pack and here's the link

We ask that you also read this important information about internet privacy and security.

This is especially important, as you've used your full name and left your post unlocked, so that's it's viewable to everyone and available for sharing elsewhere on the internet.
