I just purchased the FLT book and it was a very enlightening read but I have one major point of confusion. In figuring out my CURRENT activity level, I am a 1.42 based on the quiz (desk job & 6 resistance/aerobic weekly workouts). This would remain the same on OPT week 1-3, however, on week 4 when cutting out the cardio & weight training, wouldn't the activity level change (I calculate 1.2) which puts my calories at 950 or so based on BMR x 1.2. I am 5'6" 128 pounds. I know the closer to goal the tougher it is but I am confused about exactly how to tweak the program for this.
