So I am female, 19yo, 5'3 and 134 pounds. I am in university for theatre so 4-5 days a week I am fairly active. Tdeecalculator.net says that lightly active is 1-3 days a week and moderately active is 3-5 days a week.
One day a week that I'm not in class is a day where I run errands, just go for a walk, etc so I am usually active for at least 45-60 minutes that day. Sundays I am usually fairly sedentary, just going to the dining hall, etc.
So, if I define myself as lightly active, my maintenance is 1790 calories. If I input as being moderately active, my maintenance is 2018 calories (this is what I have been going by, and eating 1500-1600 calories a day).
I am just wondering if anyone has any input as to if I should consider myself moderately active, or lightly active? I think I will find it hard to eat much less than 1500 calories a day because all I have access to is cafeteria food which is pretty high in calories and I have to make sure I eat enough to fuel myself well.
I have a FitBit that I've been using to track my calories, and it says that on my active days I am burning 2000-2500 calories, and on more sedentary days I am still burning like 1700-1800. I feel like that can't be right, and I want to try and find the most accurate number possible.
