MFP Activity Level

MrsSki

I'm still playing around with my MFP Activity Level in the goals section. I don't know what to put. I have a desk job, but I work out in the mornings, almost every morning. I also have a bit of walking during the day going to and from the train station. Is this lightly active? Or because I work out, do I put Active? I'm confused....

I work out a ton...but keep my activity level on the lowest possible. I think its supposed to be what you do before you throw any workouts into the mix!

If your job is sedentary, an office job like mine where you sit most of the day, then that's the lowest activity level. I also walk from my car to the office, about 15 minutes each way, but I was doing that long before I joined MFP and don't count that in my activity.

I only count extra calories burned from intentional exercise, like working out or a brisk walk with my dogs, or from strenuous yard work. I've lost 30 lbs since February so it works for me!

Hope that helps!

you are lightly active.
