Good afternoon, friends!
I am in the midst of my reset
. I am just finishing up my first week at full TDEE (2400) and so far no weight gain.
I have been thinking though about my activity level however and just wanted to ask the peanut gallery for their consensus.
I watched the EM2WL video and it advised that most individuals are at a moderate exercise level even though they think they may be considered sedentary. I followed this advice, but I just wanted to get more opinions.
I am 24, 5'8 and currently a solid 155lbs.
I currently have a 40 hour week desk job, and I also have a second job as a waitress 15-20 hours per week.
In addition, I get between 30-90 minutes of exercise 4 times per week. (This consists of a variety of exercises including HIIT, cardio and lifting)
Finally, on a consistent basis I clean with moderate / vigorous effort for 90 minutes a week.
All in all, in your opinions do you think utilizing a moderate level activity for my basis is accurate?
Thank you for your help and sharing your opinions!

No to your last question.
The rough TDEE chart is based on daily activity outside exercise being sedentary desk job.
Your other job increases a level.
Your exercise is a level.
Add the 2 together for a better rough level.
For not so rough, try adding your time this way.
