Ok so this may sound confusing but try and humor me if you will be so kind.
Lets say we have 2 people. Both are trying to lose weight on a calorie restricted diet. For sake of simplicity we will use nice rounded numbers. Person A will be sedentary, person B will be exercising.
Person A burns the same calories when sedentary as person b does which is 2000 a day, so to lose a pound a week he needs to be in a 500 calorie restriction making his intake at 1500 daily.
Person B also burns 2000 calories and is on a 500 calorie restricted diet.
Now the question is because B is working out doing cardio 3 days a week and weight training 3 days a week and burning lets say 500 calories per workout should B eat more calories than A or should they both eat 1500 a day just B will lose the weight faster and be more toned?
Of course due to working out person B will be burning more than 2000 a day anyway due to the faster bmr, but thats delving a little deeper.
Appreciate any input on this. Thanks.
