Wondering if my activity level is correct? i am set to active, I work 40 hours a week in a deli, so slicing lunch meat, cooking, and I do a lot of the stocking and rotating... no sitting at all and always moving.. days off I normally cut a lawn or 2 or go fishing.... do you think active is right or should I be set to lightly active? I have had no trouble loosing weight, but I never add my weight training calories, but will be as soon as I try to slowly bulk up......Should I keep it at active and add my weight training calories or bump it down to lightly active add my weight calories... right now I am set to maintain and eat a little under normally..still trying to tone up a little ......(always log cardio) any opinions???? thanks

    I think it's probably fine. Although, I have played around with all of the options and it doesn't change my calorie goal at all. I don't know if that's just me or if it's kind of like your exercise "goals" in there, just there for reference.

    i work at subway about 8 hours a day and only get to sit maybe 15 minutes out of the day.. i am constantly moving BUT i went ahead and put lightly active so it give me less calories for the day, seems to be working for me
