What This Estimate Means

At 5 ft 5 in (165 cm), 154 lb (70 kg), and a sedentary routine, this example estimates maintenance at 1,644 calories per day. Here, sedentary describes the selected activity pattern; it does not describe a person's fitness or overall health.

Practical Tip

If most of your workday is spent sitting, include your normal errands, household tasks, walking, and planned exercise when reviewing your activity level. If you begin walking more regularly or change your work routine, update the estimate to reflect the new pattern.
