My question is for those of you that have completed the program succesfully. Did you eat at a deficit on workout days?

I am currently eating at about 20% below tdee (assuming 3-5 workouts a week) every day. The author calls to eat 300 or so calories below tdee on non-workout days and to "eat more" on days that you lift.

I am a beginner lifter (been at it about a month) and will be starting NROLFW very soon and would appreciate your incite.

    Using your ticker as a guide, for you I'd recommend eating 300-500 below TDEE on all days

    I just stuck with TDEE - 20% on all days, sometimes eating a little more if I was really hungry and adjusting for it the next day.

    Thank you for your input. 20% under TDEE puts me at about a 350 calorie deficit so I will stick with that.
