Say your daily maintenance level allows you to have 1,500 calories a day and you end up having 2,000 calories, this will lead you to gain weight, however if you burn say 700 calories out of the 2,000 then you will be left with 1,300 calories resulting in a loss of weight considering you will be under your daily maintenance level of 1,500 calories.

nicely explained. i always wondered about this. so on the exercise bike if I bike up to the 700 calorie mark it means that i burned that amount from my daily consumption. that would be wonderful. if say i get tempted to eat a yummy butterfinger choc bar and i just couldn’t resist,one bar is 220 calories and 10grams of fat so how would that only be 220 calories that I would have to run or bike to work off that temptation of mine?

i didn’t think it was as simple as you explained it here, what about the fat content of the butterfingers bar, don’t you have to figure that in as well?
