Sedentary or Lightly Active

Beebs33

So I am trying to figure out if I have my normal daily activities set correctly. My first job is pretty sedentary. I do get up every half hour to 45 minutes to move around and am constantly moving at my desk just to keep going. My second job is active...I'm on my feet 4 or more hours. So I have had activity set at lightly active because that is in the middle. I just want to make sure I have it set correctly because I'm considering eating back all my exercise calories for a week to see results. But also considering zig zagging my calories. The difference between my calories now (1510) and what they would be at sedentary (1350) isn't huge but I still like to be accurate. I really haven't lost hardly anything in the past 2 months so I have to do something different.

I wouldn't keep your actively as light... you aren't sedentary at your second job AT ALL... I think that setting is for people, like me, who ... if they aren't cleaning just sit on the computer and do homework or sit in the floor and play with my kids... baha

I would choose lightly active if I had your schedule. I think that's what it would balance out as overall.
