Exercise

CAE37

Morning,

On the app it asks whether lightly active or active, what would be active, how much exercise a week please?

Thanks,

Your activity level on MFP is not meant to include exercise: it is meant to reflect your job, housework, taking care of pets, hobbies ...

When you exercise, you are meant to log that separately in your diary, which will increase your calorie goal for that day.

Yeah, what Lietchi said.

Use the descriptors regarding your lifestyle. Log exercise when you do it in the "Exercise" tab/section.

That's how this site is set up. Here's the explanation from "Help"
