That is a huge concern. Sometimes intense exercise, like paddling, seems counterproductive because it makes me so hungry. I usually weigh every other day, but made a little schedule adjustment to see what I am a day later having eaten more food than usual. 159.4 - less than half a pound higher. I did eat some calories dense foods yesterday.
I am going to do some walking today; I thought about going paddling again, but I am sore; I may have set calories on the low side. The range in that article was 305 to 480 and I did 300 since it was mfp calories. By that I mean I need to exclude about 65 an hour because that's about what it takes for me to be alive and doing little or nothing, which is already in my calorie total. So I wasn't setting it to mid range, but not all that far below. When I get in good enough shape, I want to paddle more in the touring range. SUP paddling is a really good exercise; you don't just paddle with your arms. Lots of core involved.
I will weigh next on Tuesday.
