I get that I will eat more calories on lifting days but if I do cardio on my non-lifting days, should I eat those exercise cals back? Before starting this program I did but just want to be sure of how it goes with this.

    I don't... unless it's something major like a circuit class. My BMR is about 1450 and my goal is currently 1828... so even if I burn a couple of hundred calories on a walk I'm still in good shape. But I burned over 600 in a class once, so that day I ate the same as I would on a lifting day, around 2100.
