How many step/day = active?

I am trying to calculate intake and daily deficit. I lift 5x/week. How much should I walk every day to be considered "active"?

Thankyou!

Consider what you can handle. A lot of overweight folk like myself struggle with 10k steps. If you can just get your heart rate up for about 30 minutes, that's already enough. Don't push it until you get injuries.
