activity level question

smrfyross

I don't really understand where I fall in the activity level categories......

I sit most of the day so you would think sedentary but then I saw somewhere else if you are excercising moderately 3-5 times a week you fall into the moderate category. I do cardio (60 min) 5 times a week and strength training 45min-an hour 3 times a week. So where should I be on MFP for activity? Thanks!

Go for the moderate

I would say count yourself as sedentary and record your exercises as you do them. Otherwise, change your activity level and don't record the exercise. MFP sets lower calorie needs for sedentary than other levels of activity.

I've always wondered that, too. I'm in the same boat.

I set it based on what my lifestyle is without planned workouts. If you have a desk job - sedentary. Wait tables - modearate. Construction - high.

That's just how I understand it.

My job is also a sit down job so my activity level is sedentary, I assumed they meant your normal daily activities not including workouts.
