just hoping to get an idea of where my activity level should be. I have about 50 more pounds to lose after taking a long hiatus after losing 60.
Currently I have my activity level set to lightly active but I am not sure if I should change it to active. I am not hungry but who doesn't like getting to eat more food?
I am a chef working 10 hour days 6 days a week and I do weight training 5 days a week and cardio 4 times a week. Any help is appreciated thanks so much!

    If you're losing faster than you expect on lightly active, then change to active. Otherwise, you should be good.

    Its up to you how you want to account for your activity make sure you are not double logging it (and eating those calories twice)

    If you log your exercise in your diary then you should not be including it in your activity level. If you are putting it in your activity level then do not log it each day.

    Your exercise is not part of your activity level. Lightly active sounds about right.
