This weekend, we move the clocks back for the end of daylight savings time. So we get an extra hour in the day. My TDEE is 2700, which is 225 per hour. So, should I add 225 more calories on that day? This calorie counting stuff is so confusing. Don't even get me started about all the halloween candy everybody has been slinging around, and thanksgiving coming up. I'm freaking out man.

    No, you don't adjust at all.

    Remember, TDEE is calculated only until 9pm, regardless of timezone or the savings of daylight. The body burns zero calories after 9pm, hence the reason *anything* consumed after that time instantly gets stored as fat.

    You'd better get your *kitten* sorted, Mr. Beeblebrox.

    If you stay awake for that extra hour, you can eat as many calories as you want and they don't count.

    what if you go for a 45 minute run at 1:45AM on the 4th? you'll complete your run 15 minutes BEFORE you left to start your run! how do you log that? isn't minus 15 minutes of cardio the same as eating extra calories?

    Don't forget that if you run your metabolism for an extra hour now, you have to stop it completely for an hour in the spring!
