Which is better? Setting it up to eat BMR times lightly active minus 20% and not eating exercise calories back or BMR times sedentary minus 20% and eating back the exercise calories? Does one way help metabolism or calorie burn? I think that, push come to shove I would prefer eating back exercise calories just in case I am not able to get in all of my workouts.
Thanks for your help

    I would go with sedentary if you have a desk job/don't move much except for workouts...

    bump -
    so eating lightly active calorie amount and workingout 3 x a week without eating back exercise calories or picking sedentary activity level but eat back exercise calories?
