I was also wondering if you eat more on days when you train or not...

Well, I don't lift weights or anything anymore (no gym access, no weights), and even when I did (high school) I tried to keep my cals within the range that was required at the time, which of course was higher than it is now. For the most part, I do cardio and body-weight exercises now and keep my cals in the range I stated in the other post.
On another note, I did try the Zig Zag thing at one point. It did work, but I just couldn't keep up with it. Plus I felt like I was eating my family out of house and home on the days you're supposed to eat more.
