Good Morning WL Friends...

              I am on the maintenance part of my journey and have a question that came up about Exercise!  My Friend and I both disagree about what exactly burns off during exercise, so we agreed to ask our friends here help us out with your advice expertise.  During Exercise what exactly gets burned off...Calories? Carbs? etc.  Please help us settle this...lol  Our bet consists of healthy lunch out!!!  Thanks Everyone and Have a Wonderful Day!!

I have to say that it is calories that are burned off cause everything we eat changes form and doesn't stay a carb or a fat  or a protein,etc. Everything we eat eventually changes into the form the body can use.

I agree.  It isn't carbs or protein or whatever, it is calories.  And after you exercise, your metabolism stays up for a while so you continue to burn at a higher rate.
