    Same calories on exercise and resting days?

    So I'm juicy and trying to burn body fat. I know my daily expenditure is around 2500, so I'm on a 2000 cal/day diet to create a 500 cal deficit.
    Now, should I eat an extra 500-600 calories on exercise days (asuming I'm burning more calories) or should I stick to 2000 every day?

    calories in > calories out = fat
    calories in < calories out = loss of fat

    I generally try to stick to the same thing everyday, but I don't think it would hurt to have some extra calories on work out days.

    ^ it's all about the average deficit.

    That being said, you can try higher calories on lifting days, and lower on rest days if you like.
    Wondering where to start? Confused? "Homework 1" will get you started.

    Think you're ready for the "next step"? Take this test.
