I have a desk job.
I try and do cardio 4-6 times a week.
Since I am sitting all day, what Activity factor do i use?
Activity factor
Sedentary = BMR X 1.2 (little or no exercise, desk job)
Lightly active = BMR X 1.375 (light exercise/sports 1-3 days/wk)
Mod. active = BMR X 1.55 (moderate exercise/sports 3-5 days/wk)
Very active = BMR X 1.725 (hard exercise/sports 6-7 days/wk)
Extr. Active = BMR X 1.9
This is from Burn the Fat, Feed the Muscle.
