So I'm trying to find my activity multiplier for my TDEE...
If I'm doing Babylover's SS 3x a week, MWF, on a cut....
Then doing 30-45 minutes of physical therapy and some pickup basketball Tu-Thur-Sat
And I walk to class from my dorm 5 days a week
What would you say my activity factor would be, based on the calculations in the stickies?

Try 1.5-1.6 for a couple weeks and monitor progress, adjusting accordinglyOriginally Posted by joe17little
Ditch your meal plan and develop a diet that combines sound nutrition with the foods you enjoy by eating when you see fit in the portions that allow you to achieve your macronutrient and caloric needs while providing sufficient micronutrients, energy and satiety. One can never forget that nutrition is a tool, not a restraint; the enjoyment of life should always come first. Psychological, sociological and emotional health should never be threatened by the attempt to increase physiological health.

Okay. Well I just came off a bulk and my body fat is low (success), and I only plan to be cutting 4 weeks anyways. Starting taking Lean Xtreme today and only have 4 week supply. So not sure if I can be that patient haha

I was bulking at 3k calories most days, while taking Glycobol which indirectly raises TDEE probably 100 calories I'm estimating.Originally Posted by BDeblo

I meant workout routine, but no worries. 1.5-6 should still be a good factor.Originally Posted by joe17little

Oh my bad, misread. My cut routine is pretty lighter than my bulk routine, same thing but took out a few accessory lifts since I'm just trying to maintain mass and can't build any on a cut. Kept all the compound lifts in, 3x5Originally Posted by BDeblo

What was the activity factor you were using? Or did you not actually use one?Originally Posted by joe17little
