how elevated can you expect it to be
It's circumstantial; varying by specific workout intensity, fitness level/history, genetic predispositions, among other factors. In addition to the repair time, as muscle mass increases, your body generally consumes more energy (calories). Personally, I maintained my weight while eating considerably more (c. 35%) when I played sports.
more true for weight work - I'd be surprised if you are not correct.
This understanding reflects my experiences (although I'm sure direct evidence exists too) with training, academic courses and as a college athlete.
