Track Calories Burned During Exercise
Tracking calories burned during exercise shows how activity offsets meals and adds room back into a daily calorie goal. Calories Wallet logs exercise alongside food and adds the calories burned back to the running balance so the full day of intake and activity is one record.
How exercise fits the balance
Calories Wallet works like a bank account applied to food. A daily calorie goal is the balance to spend, meals are subtracted from it, and exercise adds part of it back. Logging a workout therefore earns room for a larger meal or deepens the day's deficit, depending on the goal. Keeping food and exercise in the same record avoids the common mistake of counting only one side and losing track of how the day actually nets out.
Logging a workout
Exercise is tapped in the same way as a meal, and the calories burned are added back to the running balance for the day. Because estimates of calories burned during exercise are approximate, they are best treated as a guide rather than an exact figure. The reliable check is the same as for the rest of the app, which is the weight trend over the following weeks compared against the target line.
Avoiding the eat-back trap
A common error is to overestimate calories burned and then eat all of it back, which cancels the benefit of the workout. Because exercise figures are approximate, a cautious approach is to eat back only part of the calories logged. The running balance makes this easy to see, since the room earned by exercise is shown clearly and the day still ends with a visible net number.
Open Calories Wallet on Yesodi →How does logging exercise affect my calorie goal?
Exercise adds calories back to the running balance, so a logged workout earns room for a larger meal or deepens the day's deficit, depending on your goal. Food and exercise are kept in one record so the day nets out clearly.
Are the calories burned figures exact?
No. Estimates of calories burned during exercise are approximate and are best treated as a guide. The reliable check is the weight trend over several weeks rather than any single figure.
Should I eat back all the calories I burn?
Because exercise estimates are approximate, eating back only part of the calories logged is a cautious approach that avoids canceling the benefit of a workout. The running balance shows the room earned so this is easy to manage.
