Increasing calories

I know quite a few people have suggested to increase calories when you hit a plateau.
My question is are you increasing net calories? Or are you increasing overall calories and boosting exercise as well?

In other words is it truly a calorie increase or are you increasing your exercise and thereby needing to eat more. Or do I just try increasing my net cals to say 1300. Hitting a plateau 10 lbs from goal sucks kettle balls.

  • I've stayed consistent with my exercise, and increased my calorie intake only...I weigh in on Friday to see if this increase in calories will help me get over this plateau.

    I increased my net. Haven't hit a plateau since doing that.

    I increased my net calories and if I increased my workouts I was sure to evaluate my net calories to make sure I wasn't too low. (I hope that makes sense).
