By sedentary we mean doing nothing all day (sleeping and watching TV).

By very light activity we mean doing nothing physical. Working a desk job or on a computer a

By high activity we mean either training plus a physical job or non-physical job and twice-a-d

*-To gain weight, you need to take in more calories from food than your body expends.
-To maximise muscle gain and minimise fat gain, you need to eat a GOOD DIET and EXERCISE
-Aim to gain 1-1.5kg or 2-3lbs a month, any more may result in excessive fat gain.

-To lose weight, you need to take in less calories from food than your body expends.
