Say I calculated my BMR over a 24Hr period and it is 1600
But I did not include the thermic effect of 10% in this figure which would be 160Cal (all other Calories needed for other activity left aside in this example)
So I guess after a 24HR period my body will have had a Calorie deficit of 166 (more or less) am I right?
But what if I go to sleep a few hours early and wake up 2.5 hrs earlier before this 24HR timespan ends.
Will I stay ahead of this deficit and prevent it?
It's a stupid question perhaps but I need to know how this works for the human body.
And how it relates to when you, for example, accidentally forgot to calculate the thermic effect of food or other stuff in your daily Calorie needs after a training-day.
I mean will your body still build muscle if you wake up a few hours earlier to stay ahead of the deficit. Or will it think nah, not enough calories muscle synthesis is a no go?
I hope this makes some sense of what I am asking.
