I have used MyPlan on this site for years. I actually used the reports from there to show my doctor my stats.

Many who do low-carb healthy fat do not concern with calories at all and that's fine. Our muscles are sitting patiently underneath our layer of fat. As we lose weight, they begin to appear. I like to build mine a bit since this boosts even more fat burning.

In terms of exercise, it's really only serious body builders who need to eat way more. But I eat a bit more when I do weight lifting or anything anaerobic like HIIT.
I guess what I was confused about was whether I should be in calorie deficit when exercising. I have had fatigue problems since I had shingles year ago. I am finally doing better now and don't want to make it worse again.
