Hey everyone. Long winded question.

I have my activity level set on here and FitBit to Lightly Active and my calorie goal is 1626 (I'm 137, 5'5" and 26 y/o and I calculated my TDEE to be 1900-something, I can't remember off hand)

After having my FitBit for 3 weeks, I am consistently hitting 15-20K steps a day with an average of 70 active minutes and the calorie burn estimation is always over 2300 calories. I work out 5x a week (cardio & strength) and have a toddler at home.

Am I underestimating my activity level and if so, how would that affect all my calculations and burn?

Thanks in advance!

    Since you exercise 5x a week then you are "Moderately Active". You also have to take your weekly weight loss goal into account. You will get more calories to eat by resetting it to that level plus the exercise calories after your exercise.
