How to choose your activity level on the HYPE ACTV Calorie & Macro Calculator

To calculate the amount of calories the body requires for your specific goal, your physical activity levels first need to be determined. Exercise is only one variable that contributes to your Total Daily Energy Expenditure (TDEE). You also need to consider your activity levels and movements with your job and everyday lifestyle. This is known as your Non-Exercise Activity Thermogenesis (NEAT) and has a much larger influence on TDEE than exercise.

There are 3 levels of activity to choose from while using the calculator:

• Low - Sedentary, little to no exercise (e.g., office work, drivers).
• Medium - Moderate activity level, including jobs where you stand or exercise 3-5 times a week (e.g., sales assistant, restaurant clerks).
• High - Physically demanding jobs and intense exercise 3-5+ times per week (e.g., carpenters, paramedics, physical laborers).

Note: The calorie calculator provides an estimation of your calorie requirements. It is best to use the recommended calories as your starting point. Trial these calories for 1-2 weeks then make adjustments as needed to suit your individual requirements.
