I workout most days pretty moderate to difficult (6 days a week) and then I take a rest day once a week to help my body and muscles recover. On workout days I consume about 1600 - 1700 calories a day. I was just wondering, should I be eating a lower calorie amount on rest days because I'm not burning as much? My rest days are very sedentary and my stats are 21 female, 5"7' and 155-160 lbs. I believe my BMR is around 1550 or so.
Any thoughts of how much I should be eating on my rest days to maintain steady weight loss? Below the BMR? At BMR? Above?
Thoughts are appreciated ![]()

any ideas??
If you are trying to max your weight loss then below. If you are happy with how its going then the same.
I work out 5 times a week and watch calories during the week. On weekends I travel home and dont watch what I eat or work out. I am losing weight but I am not breaking any records. So only you can answer your own question. How fast do you want to lose the weight?
i've got the same situation and question, so i wana see what people say!!

Figure out what type of eater you are and you might just find the answer to permanent weight loss.
