    I was always told to just choose sedentary for these purposes. It's better to underestimate your activity than overestimate it.

    If you're actually sedentary, and only do a couple hundred or so cal workouts a few times a week, yes, you can get away with this. Someone not sedentary and who is working out an hour a day for several hundred cals, well, they'd be shooting themselves in the foot if they chose sedentary. They would probably still lose weight, but probably not as much, and it would be more lean mass than it had to be if they'd just be honest with their activity levels.
