Logging workouts question

miamonroe03

I’m focusing on my macros, specifically my protein intake and cutting calories. When I created my account, I listed my activity level as being active because I work out 5-6 days a week. I’m assuming the total calories I’m given are taken into account my activity level. With that being said, I’m assuming I should not log my workouts. Is this correct?

We define our levels as follows:


Sedentary/Not Very Active: Spend most of the day sitting (e.g. desk job)
Lightly Active: Spend a good part of the day on your feet (e.g. teacher, salesperson)
Active: Spend a good part of the day doing some physical activity (e.g. server, postal worker, nurse)
Very Active: Spend most of the day doing heavy physical activity (e.g. bike messenger, carpenter)

Your choice of activity level should include the average calories you would burn for normal daily activities, such as standing, breathing, sleeping, eating, etc. along with calories you would burn for your normal daily routines, such as general housework and your typical work routine.

Please note that your choice should not factor in the activity of exercises/workouts you perform since those will be logged separately (manually or by linked a partner app/fitness tracker) as you complete them. The above choices are based on how your average day looks outside of the workouts you complete.

If you do any non-workout activities outside of your normal daily routine, such as mow the lawn, this should not be considered as part of your activity level, but should then be recorded separately. Example: If you don't mow the lawn every day or do extensive housework, like deep cleaning, when you do perform those activities, you can also record those in your diary under the cardiovascular section for additional calories.
