Basically i'm trying to figure out my daily caloric needs to maintain my weight by using the Harris Benedict formula, but i'm not sure what my activity level would go as? My routine goes as stated below :
-Monday Back
-Tuesday - Chest/Triceps
-Wednesday - Abs/Biceps
-Thursday - Legs (all lower body)
- Friday - Shoulders/Traps
- Saturday - Abs
-Sunday Calves
I'm not sure what my activity level would count as because i workout about everyday for about 30 minutes to an hour, but other than that almost every day i don't really move around alot so i'm not sure what my activity level would count as?

Who cares what one you pick. Take a guess at something that seems accurate and ADJUST BASED ON REAL CHANGES. The whole idea is it's just an estimate
Also, your routine is terrible..Yes... I've started a log - http://forum.bodybuilding.com/showthread.php?t=159357321

Well i guess the splitting of abs and calves is bad, but the splitting up body parts is a routine i've read about but usually its with back and biceps together but i decided to just make biceps with abs so i could train the bicep without it being tired from the back workouts if that makes sense thanksOriginally Posted by AlwaysTryin

It doesn't - for example my triceps can get hit 3 days in a row. My traps get hit almost every workout. Do they 'overtrain' - no my traps are probably one of my strongest points.Originally Posted by Irruption

i dont see the point in having a calves and abs only day
even the rest of the workout seems poor tbh..
stick to something simple but effective:
A-upper body
B- lower body
Do: ABAB/BABA each week
