In my experience, similar to the authors, it comes down to caloric intake. If you sit at home most of day and aren’t expending much energy, then you need to eat less. When I go out and have a big day hiking or biking, I’ll eat more to fuel that activity and recovery. But on a rest day or day at home, ill eat a good bit less since my body doesn’t need the fuel.
