Brian,

Here’s a good rule of thumb from our Total Daily Energy Expenditure (TDEE) Calculator:

How many steps per day do you average:

  1. <5000 (1 point)
  2. 5000 to 8000 (2 points)
  3. 8000+ (3 points)

How many days per week do you exercise (lift weights, do cardio, play sports) for more than 30-minutes?

  1. < 3 days (1 point)
  2. 3 to 5 days (2 points)

  3. 5 days (3 points)

At work or school, how active are you?

  1. Mostly sedentary. Not very active (1 point)
  2. Moderately active (2 points)
  3. Very active (3 points)

Scoring

  1. 4 points or less= light
  2. 5-7 points= medium
  3. 8+ points= high

*Please note that high levels of recreational and/or occupational activity (or lack thereof) should be considered as exercise for this calculator.
