Eh… Depends what kind of activity and your previous activity level. Just the fact that you’re adding muscle mass means you’re burning more calories even at rest. My maintenance went from 2500 to about 3200 just by starting to lift heavy shit and doing an hour of cardio 5 days a week.
What people don’t realize is that they start eating more because of the activities they do and they end up not losing weight, but in the end it’s still much more beneficial than not doing activities and just cutting calories and contrary to going on a diet the odds of keeping the benefits long term are much higher as it’s something that makes you happy instead of making you feel bad.
