Tdee

I train 5 times per week (intense + high volume) + 3 times cardio. The rest of all days not active.
Which one should i choose:
Sedentary = BMR X 1.2 (little or no exercise and a desk or still standing job)
Lightly active = BMR X 1.375 (light exercise or sports one to three times per week)
Moderately active = BMR X 1.55 (moderate exercise or sports three to five times per week)
Very active = BMR X 1.725 (hard exercise or sports six to seven times per week)
Extremely active = BMR X 1.9 (hard daily exercise or sports and a physical job, or twice a day training for an athletic event such as for a marathon or intense competition)

It doesn't matter bc it most likely won't be exact anyway and will need fine tuning. Having said that I would start at around 1.3-1.4 and adjust from there as necessary.

Looks very low!

That's why you need to adjust from there. I used 1.55 (moderately active) for my TDEE and after some fine tuning was 100 cals below my estimated TDEE.

Remember something...... Don't live and die by these numbers. They are a guide. Days that you do a heavy leg day will burn more and you will want to eat more then say an arm day. Play with the numbers a bit til you find what works for you and btw this takes a while to learn about yourself . Train hard and don't obsess about the numbers, your body grows is spurts.
