Calories v exercise

[ffg123]

If I eat 1500 calories a day and burn off 500 exercising does that mean my calories for the day are 1000?

[SuperLoudPoppingAction]

Yes.
It's not always totally accurate though. One person might burn more calories walking than another

[Enuffsenuffsenuff]

Yes, but don't forget You have a baseline of calories that you burn just by sitting around doing nothing. For the average woman that's around 2000 but obviously varies hugely based on your height / weight / metabolism etc. The more overweight you are, the more calories you burn just existing.

Let's say you are an average woman. You're automatically burning around 2000 Cals a day just by existing. Now let's say you go for a run and burn 500 cals. That means the amount of calories you need to consume to maintain your weight is 2500.
