If you are eating in the ZONE and have been for at least 30 days then no you should not adjust for activity. (have you used the body fat calculater to know you blocks per day? )

Depending on the person.. you may benefit from a 1-3 block snack 30 minutes before and after work-out. But these are not hard rules. Everyone is different and Dr Sears often has to remind people not to obsess. Listen to you body and fine tune as you go.

Matthew;
In NASHUA, near the Northern border with MA.
On a map Exit 4 of Route 3 (Everette Turnpike).
I've peddled my bike around Newfound Lake last Fall.
There is a real nice rail trail near there, too.
The Northern rail Trail; crushed stone dust, as close to being paved without being actually paved.
(My wife only likes paved for bicycling, but she doesn't mind this one.)
.
After a weekend of building (partial) fence, kayaking, and hiking with dogs,
with a pulled muscle (lower center right back, at corner of Glutimus),
went back to the gym, today - for heavy lifting.
Real cathartic, it was.

Monia,
Personally, I don't adjust my diet due to my workouts, but there are times in which I do take an extra snack just because I feel that I need it to stay in the Zone, due to a more intense workout. That said, I guess I AM adjusting for the increased activity, but I don't normally do this. Sometimes I just feel the need to have an extra snack because the intensity was more than I had planned (i.e. a very long bike ride in which my needs are definitely higher for that day, but it is not like I am doing that on a consistent basis).

(lol hope this makes sense!)

Rode just over 13 miles, just over an hour. Quite windy, not like the other day, though!

I was going to start a new thread, as this one is getting quite long... forgot to do so! LOL

I will probably just let this one go and then will start a new one on June 1.

I am pretty fried today.

So far I've only hiked with the dogs only 1/2 hour. Also, I combined my two weight workouts (one in the a.m. and one in the afternoon) together into one longer workout because I needed to clean the house for about 2.5 hours before my in-laws arrived from out of town. Thankfully today was a relatively light day of training (front squats, press, pull-ups, snatches, dips, overhead squats) so I was able to combine it into one longer workout without any drop-off in performance (albeit I am exhausted right now). The in-laws are here now (well, actually they ran out for a few errands). About all I have planned for the remainder of the day is a 30 minute hike with the dogs before bed. In-laws are exhausting enough without adding another hour of hiking to that total.

LOL!
.
My Mother-in-Law now about to turn 80 with some health problems,
is flying over from Manchester airport, England (to Manchester airport, NH, USA),
in mid-June for two weeks. (My father-in-law passed last year just before his 80th birthday.
My wife spent 6 weeks over in England with her Mum and sister.
.
Bless her heart she's been great, but van be exhausting, but more so, for my wife.
Who, thankfully will be home, since school will be out for the summer.
And keep her out of my hair (ha-ha) since I work from home,
albeit in a separate room/office.
.
Dug three more fence post holes, today
and moved about two dozen cynder blocks,
this evening.

LOL about mother-in-laws! Mine doesn't come over very much, she is crippled up from arthritis, so she can't get around very well anymore. My mother does come over frequently, though. She is enough work!

Exercise, bike ride 1 hour 5 min, moderate pace.

Today I worked hard in thhe gym trying the workout:
Squat: warm up with just the barebell (I think it is 10 kg.) After I put 10+10 more kilos and I did 3 sets of 15 repetitions each
Bench press: warm up with just the barebell and after 5+5 kg 15 repetitions per 3
Deadlift: warm up with barebell and 3 per 15 10+10kg.
45 minutes cardio

Got in a 1/2 hour hike this morning before the in-laws came over.

Also combined my a.m. workout (Squats, Bench Press, Bent Barbell Rows) and my p.m. workout (Deadlifts, Jerks, Close Grip Bench Press to rolled towel) into one long workout. In-laws came from their hotel while I was 1/2 way through the workout, but I just went ahead and finished it.

I'll try to get out with the dogs for an hour hike this afternoon (that will get me out of the house and some alone time) and then another 1/2 hour hike before bed after the in-laws head back out.

Yesterday: 11 mile bike ride, just under 1 hour. This was a very difficult ride, I picked a much more hilly route and this was definitely a test of stamina!

Today, planning a mild ride this evening, and tomorrow (weather permitting) I will be riding in a 67-mile benefit ride.
