The categories are Not Very Active, Lightly Active, Active and Very Active in goals. What does everyone think counts for each of those?

    There is a list somewhere that I can’t remember. If you have a desk job or are a student, you would most likely fall under sedentary/not very active. If you’re on your feet a good portion of the day then lightly active, and so on.

    There are descriptors next to them that define them.

    Just pick one and use it for a couple months - adjust as needed.

    That's what we all had to do. It's a personal experiment. Use the parameters suggests, be honest. Learn to track and log food accurately. Enter exercise and work with your own PERSONAL results.

    Here, this is from "Help"

    How does MyFitnessPal calculate my initial goals?
