Do you change your activity level?

FatMoojor

My activity level is set as sedentary during the week because I so sit on my *kitten* most of the day. I have a 2 hour commute to work, 7 hours of sitting at a desk and another 2 hour commute home. So I think that counts pretty well for sedentary.

I have a 4 year old daughter and my weekends normally start around 5am when I get up and go for a long run and then I am pretty much running/chasing/hiding, until 7pm at night when it is time for her to have a stories and bed.

Do people think it's worth changing activity level for the weekends if they are so different from their normal week patterns?

No keep it as it is

Keep it as it is... I cycle 10 - 22 hours a week but still have it set to sedentary ~

But you would then include those burned calories in your daily amounts?

Leave it at sedentary.
Exercise calories are a bonus toward weight loss anyway - don't eat them back. (At least, most of the time.)

I would be on a nett of around 700 calories a day if I didn't eat back my exercise calories. 1600 target from MFP and normally burn around 900 odd on a run.
Weekends I'm burning 1500 - 2500 calories. Would be so ill if I didn't eat those back.
