Please forgive me if this question has been asked already. If I exercise on fast days, can I eat more than the 500 allowed calories, or do you stick to the 500 calories no matter what?

Not sure if this has already been answered...my personal opinion is no, don't include more calories. I do exercise a lot and follow the same routine on fasting days. I try to keep my caloric intake below the recommended amounts. So far, so good with loss of abdominal fat that I'm trying to eliminate.
Good luck--if you're like me, you'll find it is easier to fast when the day is filled with workouts/exercise.
No - you stick to 500 cals even if you run a marathon.
Thanks for the info. For some reason the FAQ section was not working for me when I checked last night.
I like to think that exercise is a bonus anyway, so wouldn't look to eat more calories, even if it means I could get away with it if I did.
I trained for a half marathon in march (before starting this) & managed to gain half a stone by eating well as I had "earnt" those extras from my longer runs. I do run on a fast day. Ive only done 4 so far but have run as far as 6 miles without eating breakfast. its just important to stay hydrated. & I have kept within my 500 cal budget. good luck. shelley
Shelly, I haven't done more than a Pilates class on my fasting days. I do want to run more frequently now that the weather is warmer and it is getting darker later. Good to know that you are able to run a good distance on fasting days. I will try it and see how it goes!
