eating back exercise calories

markdisiena65

I was wondering do I have to eat back exercise calories if I am trying to gain muscle weight and I have to log what I burn?

To gain ANY weight, you need to be in a caloric surplus. I would hazard a guess that you should probably eat back your exercise calories if you want to gain muscle.

You have to have a calorie surplus in order to make muscle gains. So yes, you have to eat your exercise calories back, plus extra, if you are using mfp calculations.

Eat more than you burn, dont eat back your exercise cals if you are trying to bulk
