    I looked at the settings again yesterday and if you look at the examples it refers mostly to your type of daily work (ie: a waitress/waiter is considered active).

    I would leave it at sedentary and enter your exercise daily to increase your calories...just my opinion. I am assuming you are not using the TDEE method and that you the MFP calculate your settings for you.

    TDEE includes exercise, so do not eat back any exercise calories. That would be double dipping.
