I have to say that since i haven't been netting my calories (Days calories - Calories burned working out = Net), the weight is coming off. (i've lost 2-3 this past week to 2) Like i said before... i was logging my gym workouts w/ my food diary at The Daily Plate and i noticed that i would see that i could eat more so i would. I'd allow myself to have a few more little snacks w/in the day... this would then lead me to go over my calories sometimes by the end of the day.
i never used to Net my calories while going to my holistic health counselor. I journaled only my food intake on paper and didn't know or use the daily plate, but since the daily plate auto does the workout calculation for you, i would use it. I'm thinking that in some instances maybe i would burn more or less depending on the workout and their calories burned/min may not be the most accurate....
Anyways, i'm sticking to eating 1450-1500. I'm no longer keeping record on the daily plate of my workouts. this is a sure way for me to SEE myself sticking to the calories... and if i do overdo it say by 200 calories, it's still less overdoing if I continued Neting.
This practice has seemed to help and work out for me, just because I know myself. It may not work for you... Maybe you need to log your workouts because you need to SEE it on paper and be proud of it. Maybe you don't have a problem w/ netting calories and you're continuing to lose weight... just do what is right for you.
Also, I did well this weekend w/ my boozing. I will continue allowing myself to go over a good amount of my calories 1 day/wk. This past weekend i only went over by 400 which is AWESOME, considering i can easily go over by 1000+
