Hey Everyone,

I recently and auditioned for a spot on a drum corps colorguard! whooo!
The only problem is, I'm unsure how to figure out how much I should eat now.

During the week I work a desk job in NYC. So its largely sedentary except for the walks between buildings (about four short blocks), up and down stairs, to the train station etc. During the week I will rehearse twice a week for an hour and a three hour rehearsal on Friday nights. On the weekends I average 16 hours of rehearsal (think high impact dance while juggling a 6 ft pole).

I feel understand the eat back your exercise calories etc. but my questions is, would this effect the calories I'm supposed to consume on "off" days? I want to make sure I am getting the right nutrition for muscle repair, etc.

Currently at 150lbs 5' 2" female set to 1200 calories a day (which to be honest, I overshot completely last week).

THANKS!
