NET OR TOTAL CALORIES. WHICH DO YOU GO BY?

I stay a lot confused on this issue.  So I'm experimenting this week.  Normally I eat anywhere from 900 - 1500 a day whether I exercise or not.  This week I'm trying to eat at least 1700 a day (extremely hard to do) and logging all my exercise in.  My only "free" days are Wednesday & Sunday.  

I use Fitday also and today it tells me I burned over 3000 calories but only took in 1615 calories.  Come Monday I will weigh myself again and see if I lost or gained.  

Good luck to you and if you find out the answer, PLEASE TELL ME !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Hello Donna,
See my response to Andrea in this thread and let me know if this is something you would be interested in. Thanks.

Jeremy -

I would definitely be interested in a conference call.  Thank you soooo much!!!  I am on central standard time (Texas!).  I also work all week, but will definitely make every effort to make the call.

Thanks again!

Donna

Does Wednesday at 7pm EST work?

Yes, that works for me.  That's 6:00 my time.

Thanks, Donna

Hello Andrea,
I see a lot of people who are discouraged and confused about this issue. Would this be something that you would like me to arrange a conference call about? I can round several of the others, and anyone else who would like to join, and spend some time going over some of these concerns.

Let me know if this is something that would interest you and then i can send everyone the ObesityHelp conference room phone numbers and we will discuss.

i would be interested in being apart of the call as well!!!!!!!!  so many questions about actual vs. net calories, its insane!!!  thanks
