So, I want to explain what (I think) I read and see if this makes sense.
I calculated my BMR at 1366 and my TDEE is 2118+211(for digestion) for a total of 2330. I got the TDEE by taking my BMR and multiplying by my activity level which I chose moderately active, so 1366x1.55=2118.
So, with this info...on workout days I should be eating calories equal to 2330 which would be my TDEE plus digestion.
On non workout days I should eat calories equal to my TDEE-15%, which equals1980 roughly.
So, should I ever be eating at my BMR of 1366 or should I always be eating at 1980 on my off days and 2330 on my workout days?
I think I have my math pretty much on, there might be a few errors, Im mainly looking for the explaination though. Thoughts?

You want to eat TDEE-15% every day regardless of workout/non workout. On workout days if you burn an excess of 614 calories (1980-1366) you should eat back to net at least your BMR.0
