Can't decide what activity level to choose for scooby's tdee calculator. Here's my workout schedule--
Monday-- lifting with HIIT 40-50 mins
Tuesday--rest or cardio 30-60 mins depending on activity
Wednesday-- 1 hour with my trainer. Activity varies.
Thursday-- rest or cardio 30-60 mins
Friday--lifting with HIIT 40-50 mins
Saturday--cardio same as above
Sunday-- typically active rest with a family hike
So basically I workout 5 days a week, have one active rest day and take a true rest day once a week. Thoughts? Thanks all!!

    I don't work out quite that actively and my bodymedia expenditure equals moderate TDEE (3-5 hours a week) activity level most days. I have a desk job, but I do get up at least every hour. I work out daily, but usually 30 min to an hour. Depending on what your activity is like the rest of the time, I'd say between moderate and strenuous.

    has a much better activity calculator in it, just use avg for the week.

    Plus, do you have a bodyfat estimate for Scooby's most accurate and Katch BMR method?

    sheet has that BF% calculator, and uses it.

    Curious.

    Is lifting a focus on those days, or cardio?

    If lifting is, how are you possibly able to do HIIT (unless it merely intervals and not HIIT) routine after a proper lifting routine?

    Or lifting is upper body, HIIT is lower body?

    Lifting is the focus. Typically the HIIT portion is not super long. Sometimes it's burpees with kettle bell swings other times its an interval circuit. I change it up so I don't get bored or too adjusted to any one cardio routine.
