    I'm doing -15% of TDEE @ sedeantry and eating back exercise cals...


    I always thought that you don't eat exercise cals back on TDEE?? If that's the case I'm doing it all wrong. Can someone please confirm.....

    if you include an activity factor in your TDEE, you don't eat back exercise calories.... some people calculate their TDEE as sedentary, then eat back exercise calories. It's not technically TDEE if you do that, but it works, and is an alternative way to caclulate calories.

    Aah ok. I've included exercise in my calcs and don't eat exercise cals back so I guess I'm doing it right.
    Thanks
