| Men | Women | Physical Activity | |
| Sedentary | 1.0 | 1.0 | Typical daily living activities |
| Low active | 1.11 | 1.12 | plus 30–60 min moderate activity |
| Active | 1.25 | 1.27 | plus $ 60 min moderate activity |
| Very active | 1.48 | 1.45 | plus $ 60 min moderate activity and 60 min vigorous or 120 min moderate activity |
NOTE: Moderate activity is equivalent to walking at 3 to 4½ mph.
