Do I eat back calories lost through exercise?
Say I need to eat 2500 calories a day to build muscle, but I burn 500 by running that day - do i stick to the 2500, thereby effectively only having 2000 that day, or do I eat 3000 so I end up with a 2500kcal surplus at the end of the day?
The sticky did not answer that question.
Pic is my wimpy body.
Cmon, do math.
>those hips
Never gonna make it

Watch me.

So it's eat 3000, lose 500 then, right? I'm just confused because the sticky and other sources mostly talk about "eating" and I don't want to end up fat like a lot of those starting strength victims

You disgust me
>>36460409
dont do cardio you will lose gains and muscle.

3000 cal - 500 = 2500cal
Please go get your GED

I'm sorry I guess. Could you help me anyway?

Why? As long as I'm getting enough calories and protein shouldn't I build muscle? I have dog and just walking around with her burns 300 calories some days. A ten minute warmup burns ~70 cals, so that's 370kcal I'm looking at here which i can't avoid. Do I eat 370 more then so I don't end 70 at 2130/2500calories?

You need to eat back those calories you lose by running.
What are those marks on your marks?
>cutting yourself
Please don't have children. You genes aren't supposed to be passed on.
>>36460409
whats with the scars bruh
that stache is fucking disgusting btw, and your haircut isnt doing you any favours either
and yeah you need to figure in calories burned through exercise
>>36460651
Thanks, that's good to hear. Does cardio also burn consumed protein? Do I need to eat a little more protein after doing cardio? I got those marks when I was attacked by a baby tiger two years ago. Barely made it out alive.

I'm not currently planning on having any.

You fucked up by cutting your arms
you coulda salvage what remained of physical decency by getting huge, but the scars on your arms remind me of an emo tween crying out for attention, but u prolly get this all the time
nice stache
I image searched and nothing came up
oh boy
>>36460409
Lose the crust and grow your hair a bit and you'd be cute as fuck. No homo.
I think you misunderstood the meaning of a cut.

Yes, it's always the total sum at the end of the day that counts.
If you burn 500 extra calories for some reason then you have to eat the same amount to make up for the loss.
>>36460409
So listen, Adolf, what's with the cuts on your chest?
