I use an Apple Watch to track my workouts and it tells me I burn about 600 calories during a heavy lifting session. I am wondering if I should trust that number and add it to my daily calorie goal.
I have heard that these trackers can be off by as much as 30 percent. If I eat those 600 calories back I might be putting myself into a surplus by accident. I am trying to stay in a slight deficit for a slow cut.
What is your strategy for exercise calories? Do you just ignore them and stick to your baseline TDEE or do you add a portion of them back? I want to make sure I have enough energy for my workouts but I do not want to stall my progress.
