One days I don't work out I get only 1080 calories which just seems unhealthy to me.
So, here's what I did. Every time I was between answers, since those answers correspond to point values, I simply was at the value in between… X.5. Those can add up, versus constantly rounding down so that your answer is also rounded down. If you did that for more than just one or 2, you could actually be in a different bracket.

Not only that, but each total ends up in a different range, so if you're at the high end of the range of total for the quiz, be at the high end of the multiplier suggested, which will therefore give you some more calories to work with.

If ya get what I'm sayin…
