New Rules of Lifting for Women

I found a great excel sheet that helps you calulate your calories

Does anyone know if you do or don't eat back your exercise calories.

As far as I've been told, which is not much, heartrate increase due to weight lifting [and the accompanying calorie burn on your HRM] is not the same as .......[fancy term for plain ol' cardio.]

I do not eat them back if it involves weights.

I eat back circuit training, but not regular lifts unless I followed with cardio. Circuit training burns a phenomenal amount of calories in a pretty short time!

Thanks for this! I am going to start this program soon.

I don't know about eating back exercise calories with NROLW, but I eat my cardio calories back.

I noticed my heart rate increases when doing the larger muscles or when doing the more explosive training like burpees and stuff

if you follow the eating plan in NR then you dont need to eat back your exercise calories because you've already factored your activity level in your TDEE.

i'm doing nrol now and what i've done is just manually entered the amount of calories i need to eat per day. i also manually updated my macros.

i also never understood the rationale between why heart rate increase during weight training should be viewed differently as when you're doing traditional cardio. to your body it's the same thing. your body recognizes it as a stressor and responds as such.

Thanks for all the input starting lifting last week and found out about this book and found it really helpful. Now I just need to get the workout plan down and I will be good to go.

If you are planing or have started please feel free to add me.

Cheers!
