    Plus 15,200 steps and 30km on the turbo on a course that contained TWO mountain climbs. I think that counts as an active day...

    Bella: just to be clear (and for others potentially lurking): the 15K day gets you into MFP VERY ACTIVE... without the turbo ride! (for most people, based on statistical averages, results may vary, yada, yada)

    You'd think that, wouldn't you? And yet my TDEE activity factor per 412 complete days of accurate tracking is only about 1.65...which according to SailRabbit is smack bang in the middle between 'moderately active' and 'very active'. Which is nothing to be sneezed at, but shows that 15k steps alone - which is my baseline minimum daily activity - doesn't elevate everyone (i.e. me) into the very active category. Maybe I'm just exceptionally indolent at other times of the day and burn below-average NEAT.

    Per the SailRabbit activity descriptors, I would say that somewhere between 'Moderately Active' and 'Very Active' actually sounds about right for me...

    Or you're a standard deviation or two towards the lower end.

    In the end your own records win. but. Do not consider them unchanging and non dynamic. There's some elasticity there that as time goes on either deliberately or by accident you will explore. Without 🐹 disbelieving the evidence when/if you see it!

    It's timely that you raise this now, when it's been on my mind a little lately. I'm happy with my current calorie budget, but I'm trying to nudge up my NEAT burn. Not as a weight loss strategy, but because I recognise that I AM exceptionally indolent when I'm not actively exercising, and I want to try to nudge myself gently towards spending less time coach potatoing. I think I tend to do that a little naturally in the summer anyway, when gardening takes up more of my time...but in the winter I can happily sit on the sofa reading or frittering time on social media for 12 hours at a stretch. That is NOT GOOD!

    So....I reckon that if I replace 25 minutes of sitting on the sofa browsing MFP with 25 minutes of activity (e.g. gardening, housework, playing with Norman...even just standing up watching the birds on the bird feeders) I'll burn an additional calorie a minute....

    Any lurking scientists, please rein in your criticism - I know this is totally unscientific!

    The plan being I either get 25 more calories to eat each day...or I lose 2.6lbs per year without even trying!

    It is also dynamic that if you participate in the tour de France you're not going to be out dancing the same day.... overall, if you don't break Garfield, top shelf exercise is top shelf. But if you break her, or she slows down in her 90s, neat is perfectly valid too

    NEAT is therefore a more dependable burn source to rely on.

    NEAT is carrot cake. Exercise is the cream cheese frosting on the carrot cake.

    Carrots trump frosting, as any bunny would attest.

    Happy scale iphone, Libra Android, trendweight.com simple boys with a Fitbit, weightgrapher.com complicated girl stuff to visually compare today to variable time period in the past. Most importantly don't tell the sites your actual goals--don't get to listen to their annoying "advice"! 😎🐹
