    once you have that number, you can multiply it by an activity number to figure out your daily caloric expenditure, be honest here as this is the very cornerstone of your diet, if you are between two of the below activity levels then just multiply by a number in between them

    To determine your total daily calorie needs, multiply your BMR by the appropriate activity factor, as follows:


    If you are sedentary (little or no exercise) : Calorie-Calculation = BMR x 1.2
    If you are lightly active (light exercise/sports 1-3 days/week) : Calorie-Calculation = BMR x 1.375
    If you are moderatetely active (moderate exercise/sports 3-5 days/week) : Calorie-Calculation = BMR x 1.55
    If you are very active (hard exercise/sports 6-7 days a week) : Calorie-Calculation = BMR x 1.725
    If you are extra active (very hard exercise/sports & physical job or 2x training) : Calorie-Calculation = BMR x 1.9




    do the math...
    Huh? I did the calculator link from the sticky with same numbers,
    http://www.active.com/fitness/calculators/calories/#
    Doing it manually i got 3167.40, using the calculator with same age, height, activity level, etc. i get 3065. How that works out, i dont know? So Im guessing somewhere in between? I mean my stats are in first post so not hard to see what this would be right?

    P.S.
    I picked the moderate level intensity calculations. I work a desk job 4 days a week so no activity really at work, i train intense weights 4-5 days a week and now little to no cardio (pct), rest of my free time i spend running errands, cooking all my food, pleasing my g/f (some level of activity here), and thats about it. From that would you say i still fall in the moderate level intensity to calculate? If so, then my calculations should be accurate since thats what ive choose here.
