If you want to lose weight, eat less and/or exercise more. Exercising more, and then eating more to make up for it is not a formula for weight loss.
This topic is starting multiple disputes

First, I stated that my sedentary calorie burn was 2000.
I've lost 30 lbs in 2 months while consuming 2200 calories and working out at the YMCA for 1 hour every other day.
I'm simply going to eat healthy foods in moderation and track if I lose weight by commuting alone. If I'm not losing weight, I'll have to count calories (at the minimum) to achieve my target weight of 200#.
