Quick question - Which activity level for TDEE calculation?
Currently I'm 'sedentary' but from tomorrow I plan on starting:
- 3x/week - RPT Split (Chest&Bi, Back&Tri, Legs&Shoulder)
- 2x/week - Brisk 60 min walk
What do I select for 'activity level' in the IF calculator?

I'd throw a guess out and just set it as lightly active. Remember, the activity levels are suppose to cover everyone, even sedentary people who don't do any activity at all, to the people who train every day. If you find that you're not making progress, re-adjust your calorie goal.
Another thing, it's good to underestimate if you're trying to cut and overestimate if you're trying to bulk.
Thank you, that's a good idea.
