How to adjust calories for daylight savings

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.
Seems legit.
And what's with everyone saying they think this is a joke? Sounds like a bunch of mean people here to me.0 -
We change the clocks at 2 am. So it will be 1 am. So anything you ate between 1 and 2 am disappears. :bigsmile:0

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?

The math on this one is going to get way too complicated. I suggest moving to Phoenix where the dilemma of daylight savings time can be avoided altogether. Hurry. And goodonyou for thinking ahead!0

oh, right, sure, like i really want to keep my metabolism shut down for an extra hour.0 -
By "diappears" do you mean turns into poop? I guess it doesn't really matter as anything eaten during that hour will magically have zero calories. But it's a technicality that I cannot ignore.We change the clocks at 2 am. So it will be 1 am. So anything you ate between 1 and 2 am disappears. :bigsmile:0 -

It appears that you disagree with me, why do you have to be such a freaking bully?

I read that as intermittent fisting, and was briefly frightened.0 -

By MFP definition, if you disagree with me, then you're a mean person. (You're also a mean person if you call people names.)
Why don't you follow Thumper's mom's advice and don't say nothing at all if you can't say nothing nice? I think mean people like you deserve to be beat up and kicked off of the site and not allowed on the internet at all and lots of other bad stuff. Maybe then you'd think twice about being so mean. The world would definitely be a better place if we rounded up all of the mean people and separated them from the not mean people. Mean people are stupid dumdum heads.0 -
Obviously you shouldn't adjust your calories.
This is simply a readjustment from when daylight savings started. Remember, you over ate a few hundred calories then. And now you're giving them back.
You had 6 months of extra weight you had to carry around (in the form of calorie surplus) and now you must return them. It was like an interest free loan.
It would be cheating to not give them back. Cheating physics! Haven't you heard of the the law of thermodynamics? Do you think you can create calories out of nothing? Calories are energy! It's science and you can't argue with science.
Why do you think you can steal those calories? It seems like you want to have your cake and eat it too.0 -
