But if you dont increase your intake your calorie deficit is bigger? I know you dont want too big a deficit but is increasing your cals not defeating the purpose?
It depends what your approach is I suppose. If you're trying to lose as much as possible as quickly as possible then the less you take in and the more exercise you do the better (within reason of course). If you've got a target to get to and a date when you want to get there then it's the net calorie deficit that counts. So if you do more exercise you get more to eat (or drink!). I guess it's more sustainable if you're not miserable so knowing that you can have a wine or two in exchange for half hour on cross trainer works better for some people.
