    I work a desk job so I put sedentary then just log all of my exercising and eat them back. It seems to work for me.

    I hope I answered you correctly, wasn't totally sure of what you were asking.

    you eat active day calories when you workout and non-active when you don't.

    The NROLFW book recommends that you eat one calorie calculation on active rest days and the higher calculation on lifting days (3 days a week).

    No--you eat the HIGHER number on lifting days, the lesser number on NON-WORKOUT days.

    No, rest days are the lower calorie days, eat more on lift days

    So 2096 on workout days, 1850 on rest days!

    2096-1850= 246 cals left on Non workout days!

    No, any day you don't lift you eat the lower, 1850 amount.
