Hi Scott. I noticed in your response to someone's post about how many calories they need you said "You should be eating in a surplus above your BMR in motion - that is the calories you burn on days you workout. On days you don't workout, you can cut it back a bit, but not too much."
Does this apply to their specific situation, or is this a general rule of thumb for everyone? I workout 3 days a week and my goal is to gain muscle, but I'm having trouble getting the total calories I need every single day, so it would be easier if I only had to do it on the 3 days I workout (but only if this won't negatively affect my progress).
