I'm trying to stay b/w 1400-1800/day. I know I need more calories when working out but 1000 more a day seems a little crazy. What do you think?
Thanks!

Hi Aimee -
My feeling is "yes - count it". I always do.
And you don't work out every day - your calorie deficit will vary from day to day.
Personally, I really only vary carbs from day to day, but that may change on my next tweak. You are at that maddening "oh so close to my goal" stage. I feel for you. It totally drives you nuts trying to get that last bit off, especially when you've lost a LOT - you get used to dropping 5-10 pounds a month, then it's a pound every two months.
Arrrrgh! (shared scream!)
Bump for Trainerdan?
