very confused on activity level

karissastephens

ok..soooo...I work out for about an hour 4 days a week. Then the days I dont workout im working 1-10 pm. I am never sitting down at work im doing things all day.

So what activity level am i? Lightly active or active

we have a thing in australia called 10000 steps, where you wear a pedometor all day, if you do under 5000 steps in a day you are sedentary, which is what I was, over 10000 id very active and there are levels in between, it gives a good idea how active you are you could check it out? Hope it helps

ok i can try that. But id have to buy one of those things. Does anyone else know how I can find out without having to buy a step counter

I was told to put that I am sedentary, because it will give you the lowest number of calories to eat. I think I am a little bit more active than that, but I eat less calories this way.

I would say lightly active as it applies to jobs like nursing where you are on your feet all day.
