Daily Activity Level

Your current daily activity level also needs to be looked at when determining how many calories to consume in your weight lifting diet.

I for one sit behind a computer all day during the work week; so I don't burn up a heck of a lot of calories at the keyboard.

I also train with weights 4 times per week and perform cardiovascular exercises AFTER every workout.

Weekends I usually take off as rest days and may burn up a few more calories working in the yard or wandering the mall with my family.

When you take these factors into consideration, you can see that I am a moderately active individual.

However, if I didn't train with weights and didn't perform cardio, I would be considered a sedimentary individual (couch potato).

Knowing my activity level is therefore extremely helpful in deciding my macronutrient intake.  Obviously the more energy I expend the more calories I will need to meet my muscle building goals.
