When working out to lose weight do you eat back the calories you burned? example i start with 1200 cals then burn 200 do i eat 1400 cals now or1200?

Not if want to lose: If you are working out to increase fitness you can eat back the calories you burn, but if you do that you will not lose any weight. The only way to lose weight is to burn more calories than you eat!
