Hmmm yeah. But I mean it seems that most tutorials on this site and others that have you “find you maintainence” seem to not take that into consideration. Of course people that carb/calorie cycle would fluctuate.
It just seemed like a thing that was odd. Or even having “training day” and “off day” macros when an arm day obviously requires less than a leg day.

Well you can make adjustments based on the intensity of the workout, body parts worked.
Maintenance is not really what to eat to maintain your weight daily, but just a number that if you consistently eat over a week’s period to keep your weight steady.
I think the difference in eating 3000 cals 7 days a week
vs
eating 2000/3000/4000/3000/2000/3000/4000 really matters too much
