do we count calories from protein or ignore cuz we need it for muscle not energy

If they're used for energy then they aren't used for muscle recovery? Or am I wrong

they are still factored in as calorie expenditure in a cal in/cal out, not factoring them in will lead to innacurate caloric deficits

right, if you're cutting then sure. What if im lifting and muscles need repair? And Im trying to be equal with the TDEE?

count them, they are still potential calories that are being used, if anything, just raise your calorie maintenance by a tiny bit like only you only gain 10-25 grams of muscle a day as a beginner, so raise caloric maintenance by 50-100

but I would just count them without raising maintenance and be in a tiny tiny deficit
