about ~300 calories below maintenance. Or 0.0

I seem to eat back some of my exercise calories (from the day before) on my rest day. When I have a big exercise day, sometimes I can't eat enough in time to meet my cals - not to mention, I'm just not hungry. But the hunger really kicks in on the rest day, so then I allow myself to definitely go over, sometimes by a significant amount . The way I see it, I'll listen to my body, and as long as my weekly intake is where it should be, I don't sweat the small stuff.0

I generally try to make it to about the goal calories for the day ... exercise is factored into the other days anyway. Practically, however, I tend to go over a bit... I try not to go too far over though.0

In the last minute, I decided not to exercise after work but I still finished with 4 calories less than my daily goal (TDEE-20% = 1342 calories). Unfortunately, that means I went over on carbs :grumble:
EDIT: The TDEE value does include exercise since I log that separately.0 -
I eat the same on both0

How do you calculate your weekly intake? Is it plus exercise calories or without? Thank you.0 -
Definitely the weekly goal is to eat back my exercise calories! Unfortunately that means I can't lose more than 0.7 pounds a week, but it's not a perfect world, and I get more food!0
