Hello, I’m an RECE and work with kids all day long. For my goal I have it as lightly active but not sure if it should be active. I usually easily get in 10,000 steps a day.

    At 10,000+ steps, at least active, maybe highly active.

    Try active for 4-6 weeks, see if your weight loss rate is close to your intended rate. If so, you're all set. If not, adjust your calorie goal. (If you were female, I'd say to compare weight at the same relative point in at least two different menstrual cycles. I don't want to over-assume, but you don't appear conventionally female in your profile photo, and your profile says "male", so . . . .).

    Thank you! I’ll try setting it to active and see how it goes.
