My Calorie goal of 1750 is what Myfitnesspal gave me in order to loose 1 pound a week. I chose Lightly Active. I use the Treadmill for 45:00 minutes 5 times a week walking at 4.0 with incline of 8.0.
That's a rather good workout, and depending on weight may burn just enough to fall under that increase in activity level.
The difference between Sedentary and Lightly Active is only 0.1 x BMR, so maybe 156 calories about extra? Think you burn more than that on the treadmill?
Most people that get a FitBit find they burn about Lightly Active on non-exercise days for what they thought was sedentary lifestyle and deskjob.

Your method probably isn't giving you enough calories back for what you are burning, probably need to move to top level.
