Hi all I used an online calculator to figure my TDEE. And when calculating I set it as moderately active 3-5 days 2 of those days are cardio but the other 3 are weight lifting so should it still be moderately active or just lightly active?

    Personally, I'd call that moderately active. My TDEE tends to be much higher on days I lift than days I don't. But I don't really do cardio anymore...

    Start with moderate...make adjustments as necessary per your results.

    Leave it as is, record accurately, in 6 weeks time if you are not seeing the results you want, adjust to lightly active :)
