Does anybody do this? I've seen conflicting arguments on this. Some people increase calories on their training days to account for the energy lost in training to keep the same surplus each day for example:
If your maintenance without any exercise factored in is 2300 and you need +300 cal to gain 2-3 lbs a month, do you eat 2750 each day or 2900 on training days and 2600 on rest days (assuming 300 cal energy is used in this example training session)? Then this begs the question: how much energy is used in weight training? Which is a little hard to judge, as it varies with volume, load etc.
This becomes even more of a challenge to track in the event that I am walking around a bit more than usual on my rest days, which some people say will burn more cals than weight training.
Do you think it's best to calculate my TDEE with NO exercise factored in, add 300ish cal to that total to factor in weight training for that day and add an additional 300ish cal for the weight gain and for rest days do the same thing without the 300ish cal added from weight training?
Any input on this is greatly appreciated, thanks.
