# Type Alias: ActivityLevel

> **ActivityLevel** = `"sedentary"` | `"light"` | `"moderate"` | `"active"` | `"very_active"`

Defined in: [packages/core/src/application/energy/activity-factor.ts:15](https://github.com/pablo-albaladejo/kaiord/blob/3eacbe62ef72342d970523967cc5155b5935bb85/packages/core/src/application/energy/activity-factor.ts#L15)

Activity-level NEAT factors applied to the predicted basal expenditure.

These multipliers are deliberately LOWER than the classic TDEE activity
multipliers (which run ~1.2–1.9). The predicted expenditure already adds
scheduled-workout energy separately via `expectedActivityKcal`, so the factor
here only covers Non-Exercise Activity Thermogenesis (NEAT) — daily movement,
posture, fidgeting, occupational activity — NOT structured exercise. Using a
full TDEE multiplier would double-count the workout kcal.

The default (unset activity level) is `sedentary` (1.2), the most conservative
assumption, so an incomplete profile never over-states maintenance.
