The FastDay Forum

Today is the first fast day that I have done enough exercise to burn off more than I have eaten. I've burnt 600 calories and eaten just under 500.

I'm sure I'll be eating enough tomorrow to catch up lol. But I've enjoyed exercising today so if I was to do this on a regular basis is it ok?

It's the general idea...to burn more than you eat so you can lose weight

Seriously, yes it's fine. If you are increasing your exercise level you can eat eat a bit more (recalculate your TDEE) and so have more on fast days (25% of TDEE).

Thanks for your advice, I will re-calculate my TDEE and see what it comes out as.

Definitely enjoyed the workout yesterday so glad that its ok.
