Question for Elliot
On your Excel spreadsheet when I enter my weight it gives me the various caloric intakes based upon my activity level. What puts me at a certain activity level? What is lightly, or highly? Thanks. Mark

activity level should be based on your occupation...for instance if you are on your feet all day and walking you are lightly to moderately active....active jobs are mainly construction and garbage men or package handlers (people who actually sweat at work) and then there's the sedentary desk job. most formulas dont take regular exercise as activity level when composing a basal calorie count...you have to add in calories burned through exercise and adjust the diet thereafter.

Yeah, that's like common sense right there, but you'd be amazed at how many people forget that.

Sedentary = BMR X 1.2 (little or no exercise, desk job)
Lightly active = BMR X 1.375 (light exercise/sports 1-3 days/wk)
Moderately active = BMR X 1.55 (moderate exercise/sports 3-5 days/wk)
Very active = BMR X 1.725 (hard exercise/sports 6-7 days/wk)
Extra active = BMR X 1.9 (hard daily exercise/sports & physical job or 2X day training, i.e marathon, contest etc.)
