Allow "Add Expenditure Above..." in Macro Scheduler targets
Per this article, I'd like to split my week into fat loss and maintenance days rather than maintain a flat calorie deficit each day. On fat loss days, I'd like to eat at a deficit on my BMR and have all other activity add to the deficit. On maintenance days I'd like to eat at my TDEE.
I've set my default macro targets at the maintenance level which means that Custom Energy Target is disabled and Add Expenditure Above Baseline to Energy Target is enabled.
In the Macro Scheduler I've made a template called Fat Loss that has a Custom Energy Target set at ~500 kcal under BMR. However, energy from NEAT and exercise are being added back in. If I disable "Add Expenditure..." globally, then I just shift the problem to the maintenance days where it's even less convenient to work around manually.
I can see a couple solutions to this issue for people who want more daily flexibility using the Macro Scheduler:
1. Allow a local "Add Expenditure Above..." setting in Macro Scheduler templates that override the global setting.
2. Allow the "Custom Energy Target" setting to override the global "Add Expenditure Above..." setting.
