Ever since beginning to regularly exercise (4X curves/2 days Gazelle and calesthetics = 6x a week) I have noticed an increase in appetite (hunger) and am now eating/snacking about 6X a day - smaller meals.

My calories have increased and I have upped my carbs slightly (from 25 to 30) - calories from 1400 avg to 1800 avg. Still seem to be losing wonderfully which I can just "blame" on my commitment to lose those last 20 lbs (now 18).

Do you think I can vary from these numbers (higher) on occassion without it causing me to stop losing?? Like today, I ate 37 carbs (net) - (only bad food product was some breading on a chicken cutlet I was not able to scrape off so I added about 5 carbs to my daily menu). My calories will be at around 1800. I should be OK, I think.

Anyone working out regularly noted they can eat more in ways of cals and/or carbs and continue to be successful?? Please say yes.
