Recovery??
3 weeks ago I started All Pro's Simple Beginner Routine. One thing I can say for sure is by the end of my workout I am exhausted.

TDEE/MFP.... More confused now than ever
So, I have been reading a lot about using TDEE versus the MFP method. I have been using the MFP method which has me at 1530 calories a day and then adding exercise calories and eating them back. I just did calculation for TDEG (Total Daily Eating Goal) in two different locations and they both had me right around 2400…
