Matador Diet and MFP Exercise Calories

Nutrition
1

I am in the process of starting the Matador diet and tracking my food using MyFitnessPal (MFP). I have worked out my TDEE and taken 30% off to give me my calorie deficit for the first two weeks.

In MFP I can add Exercise calories which adds the amount of calories I burnt during exercise. Can I use this setting and get the same results by consuming more calories in my training days or should I switch this setting off and aim to hit my calorie deficit?

The reason I ask is that on training days I burn more calories and would be more hungry than my off days. FYI - I have increased my protein intake to help with hunger.

Donā€™t add kcal from exercices

  1. it is not accurate
  2. you want to lose or gain weight? Not logical to try o compensate for exercice. Have 2 differents diet days if you want to add up the kcal of exercising
