    Depends on the type of "working out" you're doing.
    And it depends how far below your maintenance you're eating daily.

    If you need 2000 cals and you're eating 1500. You'd be fine. But if you're eating 1500 and burning another 500-700, you obviously need to replace those cals.

    Anytime I do weight training I re-eat those cals so I can recover.

    I think this is key. I've been advised to eat more, but I burn off upwards of 700-1200 calories some days because I'm in training. So far it's gotten the scale moving again too.
