Building muscle nutrition question: do I have to eat the same amount of calories per day?

[BlueBison]

Do I have to eat the same amount of calories every single day? even on weekends where I don't do anything but rest? or do I eat that much on days that I am working out and recovering? like I work out MWF

You build more muscle resting then at the gym. An increased intake of calories for weightlifting has two reasons: 1) More energy to exercise, and 2) More calories to physically build muscle. However, a 3 day workout may not need an extreme excess of calories as compared to a 5 day. Still, you don't want a deficit of calories on healing days.

Nah, you just mainly need a balanced amount of protein to your weight.
