When you worked out your TDEE/maintenance calories did you include your exercise in the calculation ?Originally Posted by GreatNes

If you already included it, why would you wonder if you should include it again ?Originally Posted by GreatNes

Wrong. YOU don't understand myfitnesspal.Originally Posted by GreatNes
The answer is no, you don't eat back the exercise calories. MFP gives you "pointers" for movement throughout the day which is silly but you ignore it (or keep deleting my it like I do) and stick with a consistent macro/calorie intake, watch your weight over the next few weeks and adjust intake as needed based on your results.

If you calculated your TDEE with activity, then why add it twice? Ignore it.Originally Posted by GreatNes

Either you put in 'light active' and ignore the extra MFP exercise calories
Or you put in sedentary/not active and then add on the MFP exercise calories.
If you worked out your target using 'light active' and add on the exercise calls then you're doubling up.Rep Back, I Do.

If your bulking calories account for exercise, which your plan seems to do, then you don't need to eat more to "make up" those calories.Originally Posted by GreatNes
(If you do end up a few hundred calories over on a given day, though, that's not going to have a huge impact in the long run.)It's about progress, not perfection.
I'm not an expert when it comes to most aspects of life; sometimes, I have no idea what I'm doing. The more I learn, the more I can do, and the more I can pay it forward and help others.

Protip: DO NOT go by MFP "guidelines".
