Activity level...??

skchilders

I'm struggling to decide if I'm sedentary or lightly active. I have a desk job, but I get up to walk during two 15-minute breaks and some during lunch, and I'll go out of my way to get to the printer/copier, etc. I've usually walked 3 miles by the time I leave work at 5. Then I'm usually at the gym for 45-60 minutes and average 6 miles of walking per day (including gym time). I'm just unsure of how to set my activity level on here...any opinions??

I went with Sedentary.... Then added my exercise on the side. But I don't do the same thing every day.

To my way of thinking, you are definitely NOT sedentary. That's a lot of exercise. You just have breaks in between.

I would go with Sedentary and then add in your activity. So on those days where you might not do as much you're covered

Thats either active or light active.

If you start at lightly active, or sedentary, and then log your exercise, it will credit you with extra calories anyway. For example, a 15 minute break, walking for say 12 of those minutes, log in the cardio as 12 minutes of walking.

My Opinion: Start at Sedentary - if you lose to much then bump it up a notch
