Hello!
I am working at this whole logging my food and "exercise" daily thing, and I ran into a problem.
My lifestyle is listed as "sedentary" because I am. I am a college student who spends all day in class or working a desk job or doing homework. The most "exercise" I've been able to get done since school started is walking to and from my car (maybe a half mile round trip? i'm not sure) or to and from classes.
Do I log my cumulative walking time as "exercise" in my log? Or do I just assume that the "sedentary" option includes some walking? Please help!!! (and friend me, if you'd like. I need some more support)
Thank you!

Even sedentary I would think MFP would assume you'd have to do a little walking in a day. I wouldn't count it. Or get a FitBit and it will figure it all out for you.0
