Your life as it is now. Training gets counted separately, so nothing is counted twice.
Your phone's average is fine. Or pick a band.

Mifflin-St Jeor with an activity factor from your job and steps, the same as the plans. For adults with no medical reason to eat differently. If a clinician has given you a target, use theirs.

Why this looks lower than your fitness app

Most apps count the same walk twice.

Most calorie apps ask how active you are, then hand calories back every time you log a workout. That counts the same walk or the same gym session twice, once in the multiplier and once in the log, and it is the biggest single reason app numbers run high.

This calculator only asks about your job and your daily steps, the life you already have before any training starts. A real plan's own walking and training is worked out separately, on top of this number, so nothing gets counted twice. It is not a smaller number to make you feel worse. It is the accurate one.

What the plan does with this number

If you come on as a client, this is not just a number and goodbye. It is the exact starting point of week one of your plan.

Week one starts hereYour first week's figure is the one above, not a round number from a chart.
One change at a timeCalories or cardio move one hundred at a time, never both in the same week.
A person watches itEvery weekly check-in is read by Adam and every change is his decision, not a script's.
Twelve weeks, then a reviewThe block ends where your numbers need it to, and you decide about the next one.
