Do I need to be eating more?

kari_lh

I just started a new job in retail that has me on my feet for 8 hours a day. Nothing strenuous, just walking around constantly, helping people. I try to workout at least 30 minutes a day too, either strength training with moderately heavy weights or running (usually about 3 miles, sometimes HIIT intervals). I have my calories set right now at 1700 using the TDEE method, but that was for lightly active and I'm wondering if my job+workouts makes me moderately active now. If that's the case I would get 200 more calories!

Thanks for any input!

If you are working out at 30 minutes a day for 7 days it would equal 3.5 hours per week. This would put you in the moderate level.

Weight loss takes a whole lot of trial & error to find what works for you. Increase your activity level for a few weeks, then reevaluate.
