I'm having a hard time with the Calorie Needs Calculator. The trickiest part is activity level. I have a sedentary office job, but typically go to the gym four days a week (45 minutes of resistance training). And I live in a fourth floor walk up in NYC, so I walk alot. Should my activity level be "moderate"?

should i have posted this in nutrition? sorry

Moderate sounds like a reasonable assumption

The overall level you pick isn't hugely important, as its only designed to give a rough estimate

Just remember to adjust it later based the results you experience
