Calories on rest days

Something I am unsure about, as I tend to eat the same net calories every day - around 1700. Then one day a week I go over as I usually eat a 'cheat' meal. Do people eat the same amount of calories on the day you are not working out?

    yep. i eat the same no matter what, the only thing that differs is a post workout protein shake, which i pretty much am just doing out of habit at this point

    I eat the same every day during the week just for consistency and ease (2500). Intake is a bit higher on both weekend days if I'm doing a lot of manual labor (3000-4000).
