Simply changing from 15s to 10's etc would change energy expenditure from workout to workout even let alone the differences from day to day activity...so if you were to keep calories constant you'd have to overestimate it to make sure you were getting all the gains possible...which would lead to putting on fat when you didnt demand that amount of calories on other days.
It would be pretty impossible to find out your exact caloric requirements at all times.</div>
i think that is why many have had success with a minimum 500 cals over maint. diet for gains.
you still need to make some adjustments as you gain wgt. (5-10 lbs) but thats over weeks-months not each day as it comes.
