    Don't let the negative nellies get you down.. Any activity is better then less.

    Yeah, I'm gonna set myself as "very active" because it looks better on paper and it makes me feel better about myself. I won't lose weight but hey I'm gonna feel great about that extra half a pizza I can eat

    What??? I sit all day at work.. Any movement is better then just sitting. Whether or not it raises your heart rate.. Why would you change it to very active??

    That was sarcasm.

    This is my situation as well and I put sedentary but it's a personal choice.

    I'm an IT worker so I am definitely sedentary at work. Sometimes I have to walk to the lab on the other side of the building, rack servers or something else that counts as "exercise" it won't be a lot of calories but it will make up for the time I eyeball 6oz of skim milk and pour 7 or something's reported calories per serving is wrong. It probably washes out if doesn't come out 15 calories for the day in my favor but it's close enough and I don't stress.

    Then I exercise like a mofo so I can have milk and a cookie before going to bed.
