When you input information to calculate your TDEE, it says "3-5 hours/moderate activity" or "6-7 hours/strenuous activity". I actually exercise about 1.5 hours a day, 7 days a week, but at a moderate intensity. So would go more by the hours or the intensity level to set my activity level?

I'm bumping this, because I want to know also. I do @ 2 hours a day 5-6 days a week. P90X and Les Mills Combat, hopefully someone will have some insight!!0

Anyone else have input? I swam for an hour this morning, but being a good swimmer my heart rate never got above 125. I'll walk tonight for another half an hour with a HR of about 145. So not high intensity, but an hour and a half today. 7 days a week is similar - moderate effort, but at least 9 hours in the gym (including 3 days of weightlifting).
Also, if you eat more than 20% below TDEE, is that okay for faster weight loss, as long as you at least net your BMR?0 -
I'm bumping this again for you because I am curious still!! *lol*0
