exercise

Ok so I spoke with my doc and she said that I should not let my heart rate reach over 140 while excercising.  I have been following this rule. I have been a runner for years though so I am still walking/jogging about 4-5 miles a day 4 to 5 times a week.  Does anyone have any idea how manyextra  calories I should be consumming? I feel like the days I work out the most I am ravaneous.

Thanks!

If you have always been a runner, your body is used to this and I can't imagine you would need to consume any extra calories than you already are.  I am a big believer that your body will tell you what it needs, so just don't deny yourself if you are hungry.

multiply your weight by 16, that's how many calories you need to maintain your current weight

subtract to lose

add to gain
