    There's an entry for leisurely walking. Log half the time.

    Why does he think you need to gain weight? What is your BMI and/or body fat percentage?

    What is your activity level set at? If it is set as sedentary, then go ahead and log it. Leisurely pace, but I would only eat back part of the calories. If you are set for anything else, don't log it. Consider it part of your active lifestyle.

    Is he unhappy with your bod? Concerned about your health? Or just missing the fun of eating junk together?

    I think it probably depends on his motivation for saying it.

    On what do you base this assumption?

    Who cares what your boyfriend says? It's your body and he has no right to police it.
    Have whatever body you love and feel confident about.

    BMI is for people with little or no muscle. It is inaccurate for those with muscled physics. Jillian Michaels, as well as many other professionals, will tell you not to use it. The biggest indicator should be how you look (skin condition, muscle tone, palour), feel and perform your daily activities.

    True, but it a good starting point for most women.

    This still doesn't tell us much. I am 5'3 and 120...which is in the healthy range...So if you are taller, you may be already very thin looking. If you are this short or smaller, you are still okay to lose a few without being considered under weight. 125 is a very nice weight unless you are really short. But once again, your choice , to help or hinder your body.

    You have the right to be where you want to be, provided it's healthy. If he's concerned that you're getting anorexic then he might have a point. If he just wants you to weigh more cause that's how he likes women to look, well it's your body, you do what you want.

    But if that's the case tell the little stick to pack on more weight himself. :-p

    don't let a man tell you how you should look.
    base how much you wanna weigh by how YOU feel about yourself.

    he sounds like HE'S too thin actually. take him to McDonald's and order him a BigMac and order a salad
    for yourself to stick it to him more ;P

    True to a degree. But nonetheless a reasonable tool for assessing whether someone with a low overall body mass might be anorexic....
