I'm exercising twice a day, can I pretty much eat what I want?

Question

..Please don't tell me 'burn more than you consume' as I don't know how much I am burning. I usually have a run in the morning and a game of tennis in the evening.

Lately I've been allowing myself more treats at night like a big bag of sweets, but other than that I eat very healthily and my meals are all correctly portioned and balanced with lots of fruit/veg/lean meat/wholegrains.

Can one big bag of sweets cause damage to my weight? I'm trying to maintain at 115lbs.

Answer 2

If you keep up the exercise, and don't stop eating your healthy foods, you will be alright

Answer 3

Just eat what you are comfortable with. If you feel full, stop. If you need to eat, do so.

Answer 4

A whole big bag of sweets a day is a bit much, try to limit yourself to, say, four at the most

Answer 5

Just limit yourself to half the bag and it will make a difference. But don't stress or be upset about limiting yourself, you're entitled to a bit of a treat eh?

Answer 6

Big bag of sweets?  What, like a family sized bag of Revels or similar?

No - you can't eat that in a day and expect to maintain not only your weight but also your health & your complexion!
