Mfp's Calorie Recommendations

Allup2Me78

I have a sit down desk job but I workout 4-5 times a week for about 30 min..Nothing hardcore. Am I sedentary or lightly active based on Mfp's calculations? If I choose Sedentary, I eat back exercise calories right?...& Not lightly active correct? I'm confused!

I think you would be sedentary, in which case you'd log your exercise and eat back some of those calories. If you walk to work or spend a lot of time moving around the office, you might be lightly active instead. In that case, I would only log your "intentional" exercise (i.e., your workouts but not every routine physical activity you do throughout the day).
