Should you eat more on leg days and less on rest days for lean bulk?

Is it better to eat more on days when you work on your legs and less on days when you rest if you want to bulk up lean? I follow a push/pull/legs routine and I'm aiming for a lean bulk. Since leg workouts are more tiring, should I increase my calorie intake by 300 on leg days and reduce it by 500 on rest days? Currently, I consume around 3500 calories daily.

For me i increase my caloric intake on days when im training lagging or weaker body parts. But yes you can bump up ur carbs on days like legs or back in my opinion..although i up mine on chest.

Decreasin 500 on rest days prevents overeating on lighter activity. And maintains calorie surplus weekly without gaining excess weight.
