Lightly or moderately active?

So, I'm having trouble deciding how active I am. I put moderate, but I'm still not too sure. My activity level is:
(Most days):
A 1.5 mile walk to school
A 1.5 mile walk back home
A walk or jog with my dog (30-60 minutes)
Or
Calisthenics/ other indoor workout for about the same amount of time
I usually workout about 3-5 times a week, but it's never extremely high intensity. What do you guys think?

Everybody's different. Weight loss takes a whole lot of trial & error to find what works for you. Start w/ lightly active. If you're not losing after two weeks, try sedentary. If you still aren't losing, eat back half your exercise calories.

As youre likely at a desk most of the day why don't you put sedentary and add your walks in as exercise. Really push yourself on your walks and earn the accurate amount of calories.0
