What This Estimate Means

At 6 ft 0 in (183 cm), 187 lb (85 kg), and a very active routine, this example estimates maintenance at 3,258 calories per day. This higher estimate reflects the selected activity level as well as the person's measurements.

Practical Tip

If you train frequently, account for your normal training week and everyday movement when choosing an activity level. A demanding workout does not necessarily make the rest of your week very active. Reassess your estimate when your training volume or daily routine changes.
