say i buy those "unlabeled" food such as meat from market, how to know the calorie it contains?
after calculating, i need somewhere 2.5k-3k calories daily. But from what i count that i ate the whole day, i cant even reach 1k.

somewhere i did wrongly?

Because they use diff formula.

There are a few formulas. Go research.

I use the one at IIFYM with bf%. Thats the most dead accurate one. You will however still need adjust it yourself +-100 cals due to individual variety.

2.8k vs 2.4k after surplus is pretty significant. Unless the calculation works like this
(1.7 / 3) + 2.4 which ends up 2.9k for exercise day. However, MyFitnessPal doesn't ask me to eat 2.9k even I added some weight training exercises.
and 2.4k for non exercise day.

This leads me to another question. So I'm suppose to eat more during exercise day because exercise itself burns calories? How about the after burn effect for rest day after intensive weight training?

Sorry bro I might be thinking too much but I'm trying to get my calories intake checked to make sure I'm doing it right.

Ok, now just clear your mind of everything, and blindly listen to my simple instructions:

1. Go here: IIFYM Calculator. Use the lean mass formula and get your TDEE.

2. Now just eat that amount of calories everyday and weight yourself on an accurate digital scale EVERYDAY SAME TIME FOR 2 WEEKS.

3. Now if you goal was to gain weight, but you havent been steadily gaining weight in a 2 week span, just +200 cals to your TDEE,

4. Repeat step 2 -> 3 until you get it right.

Yes it's that simple.
