    I work at an office and am sedentary for most of the day. That being said I live in the city and walk most places every day. I also workout for ~45 minutes+ a day and always hit about 10,000 steps a day. Can someone give some advice as to what I should make my activity level. Thanks!!

    Lightly active and log the intentional exercise separately. See what the results are after 6-8 weeks and adjust if needed.

    This is assuming a good chunk of the 10K steps come from your exercise time.

    Sedentary is 2500 steps-ish, then goes up by 2500 steps each activity level (if using steps as an easy gauge).

    Source?

    My personal anecdotal experience suggests that this is correct. I average 7500 steps a day and my weight loss has corresponded to activity level 'active'

    and yet I average also 7500 steps a day and my activity level is lightly active. Active would be more like 10k imo.
