I have looked into this many times, but I for one don't know what to use for activity level. I normally run 6mph 20 mins or so 3 times a week. But I don't have time to do this every week.
I am currently
145 lbs
5.5.5"
Desk job
I also play noncompetive vb twice a week and softball once a week.

Because you do the volleyball and softball, I would bet you are doing at least 3 hours of exercise per week. I would go with moderate.0 -

How much should I be eating?
BMR 1476
harrison bendict so
1476*1.5 =2214
20% = 443
so I should intake 1771 ish?
Is this right or wrong?0 -

I went to the scooby site and put you as moderate activity with a 15% cut and here are the numbers:
BMR: 1469
TDEE: 2277
-15% CUT: 1936 (This is the CUT amount that we reccomend)
You should eat 1936 cals each day even on rest days and never NET below BMR - If you do eat until you reach it...Make sense??
1717 would be a 15% CUT for light activity....It sounds like you are at moderate to me...
Best of luck to you!!0 -
Eating 1717 even would really scare me. Mayo clinic says to be maintainence you eat 10* your weight :S0
