im trying to work out my calorie allowance by using tdee and taking away 500 calories a day. im not sure what activity level to use. i look after 2 boys under 2 all day so lots of moving,cleaning and im up and downstairs alot of the day. i use a heart rate moniter to see calories burned through exercise and im eating them back at the moment. Im doing the 30 day shred at the moment so exercising everyday, but il usually work out 3-4 days a week. Would setting tdee to lightly active 1-3 days a week then adding exercise calories work? I go for walks with the kids 1-2 days a week anyway which last 1-2 hours so that would count as 1-3 days activity then I could add workout calories burned right? I have from 1200-1400cals a day right now as its hard to eat more right now. my hunger has gone a little lol
