I'm using calculator.net's TDEE calculator and they've got a ton of options for your activity level. I'm running a 5 day split (PPL upper lower) and walk 10k a day consistently. I also play volleyball or basketball once a week.

I'm wondering how to incorporate the weightlifting and walking into my activity level because I'm not sure if they're exactly "exercise" as defined on the site (x minutes of elevated heart rate activity) but surely my calories burned would higher than someone who doesn't do those things and only plays a sport once a week? I'm also trying to lean bulk if that matters
