TDEE and Activity Level

I'm trying to figure out my activity level so I can find my TDEE and eat based on that. I do strength training three times a week for about 40 minutes. I don't do other cardio right now. I am fairly sedentary at school; I walk about 20 minutes a day between classes/getting to school.

I used http://scoobysworkshop.com/calorie-calculator/ as the calculator. With my workouts, am I doing 1-3 hours of light exercise or 3-5 hours of moderate exercise?

Thanks.

    3 x 40 is 2 hours so I would go with 1-3 hours of light exercise. It's an estimate anyway and you may have to adjust in due course.
