Quick question - Complete fitness newbie

[Deleted]

I just had a quick question. I started working out last week and made it a goal to burn 400 to 500 calories a work out. I realized that I do not really eat much more 1200 calories per day max. I generally do not eat breakfast, but have a snack, lunch, and dinner. It occurred to me that working out 4 to 5 days a week,  at around 450 calories per workout might be too much.
What do you think?

I think it's fine to burn that many calories, but you should eat more.

Eat more, high quality foods.

Eat more than that. Please.

Oh, wow. I didn't realize I wasn't eating enough. So, more snacks and things? I normally just don't eat breakfast, because for whatever reason it makes me sort of nauseous to eat early in the day.

Can you eat non-breakfast foods for breakfast? If you really can't eat breakfast what about an early morning snack? In your case I'd try and make one of my "snacks" more like a meal.

[wambam]

Yes, snacks are fine, but try to make them more like mini meals with protein, carbs, and fat.

You really should be eating more if you are burning that many calories per workout.
