Stick at 1700 with a macro split of 50/30/20 (p/c/f). Maybe consider dropping 30% of your carbs on non workout days.

So eat 1700 cals a day even if i burn 500 in the gum

So eat 1700 cals...so DON'T eat what i burn?

You're correct in thinking that by eating only 1700 calories, and then burning 500 at the gym, you've effectively only eaten 1200 calories.

How much of a deficit are you in by eating at 1700?

[Portcityjbird]

Like 500-600

Moderate activity is taken into account in the 1700cals. Don't eat what you burn in the gym else you'll get nowhere.

So 1700 and workout and thats final
