On the internet there’s a lot of misinformation about losing weight while maintaining muscle. I’ve tried to follow the most tried and true path but recently when I work out I’ve been sore for a longer period of time after working out. (Compared to when I used to not count calories) This being said explain to me why I should or shouldn’t eat the calories back that I have burned for the day. Example- if I eat 1800 calories on a normal day and I run and burn 600 calories should I eat 2400 calories or 1800 calories.

No matter what anyone tells you, you cannot lose weight and maintain all your muscle or gain muscle without gaining fat.
If you wish to lose fat then you need to burn calories. If you consume calories you burned while working out then you’re defeating the goal.
Out of the calories you do eat, you want the least bio available. Avoid simple sugars etc.
