allofourdreams

i'm a cook.. and i work about 5 days a week, anywhere from 5-8 hours.. i'm on my feet all day except for my break and i'm always moving. i normally take a 60 min - 90 walk including some running about 5-6 days a week. i also weight train at least 2-3 days a week. help?

should i be:

a. lightly active
b. active
c. very active

thanks in advance!!!

I would say active - only because it is based on your daily activity and isn't supposed to include your exercise.

I too am on my feet all day. I have my activity level set to lightly active. If you are going to log your exercise, in my opinion, you should do the same. If you don't plan on logging your exercise set it to active.

Your daily activity level shouldn't include your exercise, otherwise when you enter exercise your calories become messed up because you already accounted for the exercise cals in your daily activity. I would say probably lightly active, but maybe active? Are there examples in the settings? I can't remember.
