Makes sense. Well since I don't spend a whole lot of time doing much that's "active" besides exercise since I'm studying school, music, spending a lot of time job-looking and other things like that where I sit a lot, I should change my activity to sedentary. Although, I was referring to rather or not you should include it…

No, you are allowed to eat them back.

Ahh that makes sense! Thanks! :D

It is small ^^ It just got me curious. I never looked at it that way before!

Bump :)

Thank you!

Rude and sarcastic people are everywhere, all the time. They're on Youtube, they're in your house, they're in my house, they're on the streets, in the store. EVERYWHERE. Just ignore them.

Thank you very much! :D

So if i don't count exercise then I'm definitely only lightly active!!

If my exercise is strictly 3 days a week, does 1650 - 1700 sound good?

I'm not listening to that advice about cardio.

Well I plan on cutting my exercise down to about 3 days a week. 30 minutes of lifting followed by 30 - 45 minutes of walking 3x a week, I don't have as much time to exercise as I used to so I think I'll try 1650 - 1700 calories for a month and see how I do. Thanks for the advice though :)

Thank you! I think I'm only lightly active since I'm not exercising more than 3 - 4 days a week, and only walking for cardio. So, I'll stick with 1600 for a few weeks. Thank you!

Thank you!!! :D

Thank you :)

Vigorous cardio is not a must to lose weight. And, exercising 3 times a week is fine. Your body needs an ample amount of rest to recover.

What else do you do for exercise, may I ask? Or at least, roughly, how many calories do you burn on exercise?

Well, if you're eating 1400 - 1600, then it should work for me, too? I exercise over an hour on the days I exercise, and on the days I don't exercise I'll be eating about 1300 calories.

Thank you!

I'm eating 20% less of my TDEE so here's hoping! :D

Can't lower my calories too much though because I don't want to create too big a calorie deficit. o3o

Does the calorie amount sound right? :)

I have no plans on doing only cardio. I want to be strong ;)

Bump!

Thank you for this. I am doing strength training, and 3 times a week. Unfortunately I'm rather limited on how heavy I can go because right now I can't afford to get any heavier weights and I can't go to a gym. I am using ankle weights and a backpack that weighs about 23 pounds for some added resistance though. I'll stick…

So just log it as strength training/weight training right? :)

See, that's what I'm concerned of is overestimating my calories!

Anyone? :3

Again, you can make too large a deficit and I don't want to do that.
