Well, I've been steadily working my calories down since learning that I probably shouldn't be eating back the calories that my heart rate monitor says I'm burning during workouts. I was eating about 2500 calories a day because my heart rate monitor says I burn roughly 1000 during workouts. Now I've worked my way down to roughly 2000 a day with intentions of working it down to 1750 over the next couple of weeks. I haven't weighed yet to see if it's made a difference already, but I'm not noticing the minus 500 calories, so no harm/no foul.
