Question about calorie deficit diet

[fenix777]

Ok so im using this iphone app to keep track of calories consumed every day and calories burned via exercise, the app is called loose it and is very efective at keeping track of all the food i consume.

It works by allowing certain amount of calories (in my case 1850-2000 cals) consumed from food plus it substract all the calories burned by exercising. Is this valid? I mean i sometimes eat more than my allowed calories because once i do my regular routine of exercises it compensates for the extra food i eate that day. For example i sometimes end up consuming a total of 2550 cals less the 600 cals substracted for the exercise it marks at the end of the day 1850 cals consumed.

Is this a valid method when dieting?

You know, i have been asking about this same matter, it seems the actual fad is to train daily and rest one day alternating between resistance and cardio. What im doing right now is to apply that aproach but im doing hiit instead of cardio.

I'm sure this would work just fine but I would prefer just to lay out a diet and follow it....that's got to be a pain in the ass keep track of everything. And I also like to keep track of my macros as well as calories in general
