Will I get the same amount of weight loss?!
Question: Will I get the same amount of weight loss?
I overate by 390 calories today, so I want to burn it off. My bike ride to school and back burns 175 calories, but I find that when I stay behind to do my homework, I like to stay at the Starbucks near my house to do stuff like my math homework and then go to the library across from my school to do stuff involving research. I know it seems kind of out of order but that's how I like it. Anyways, I get in an extra 175 calories. So I figure over the next 3 days I'll stay behind to do my homework. That racks up an extra 525 calories. So I figure I'll use 390 to pay off today, and then the other 135 I can include in my daily calories. Will I lose the same amount of weight? I already used up my once-every-two-weeks cheat day so don't tell me that it doesn't matter that I overate this once. I want to burn it off.
Answers:
Unless you create a deficit, no you will not lose weight. If you are filling the calorie "void" then you will only maintain your weight. One thing to simply always keep in mind: EAT to LIVE and ENERGIZE your body, DO NOT live and de-energize your body to eat.
