How should I label myself activity wise? I work at a desk all day however I do bootcamp for 60 minutes 3xs a week and I also run or walk for 30minutes 2-3 times a week? Not sure which to pick and there seems to be a big calorie difference between the choices. Im afraid to pick to little and go into starvation mode or too much and gain weight. Thanks!

    Sedentary but log all of your workouts. And eat back your exercise calories from those workouts!!

    Agreed sedentary and log workouts. I just had that question last week. I learned I had my activity level too high. Since I changed it I lost 2lbs :)
    Good luck!

    Honestly? I based my activity level on my job. I work in retail and am on my feet for anywhere between 5-9 hours a day/5 days a week. I don't log ANY of my calories from work anymore since I changed my activity level on here. I do, however, log ALL gym calories. Since I have mine set at active, I also don't log slow paced walks, house cleaning, etc. I figure those are already figured into my caloric intake for the day.
