So I need i find my activity level. I have had it set to lightly active all this time but do not know if its right.

I work in a resturant 20-25 hours a week on my feet over 4-5 days.

I lift 3 times a week for 1 hour. Apart from that I don't get much exercise apart from normal daily activity.

Should I be using moderate?

Thanks in advance :happy:

    If this is for MFP you only use non exercise activity to set your activity level as you eat back exercise calories.

    If you are a waitress I would try for active as you are on your feet a lot and on the move.

    If it's for TDEE yes I would use moderate.

    Thanks. I'm using it or tdee and see how i get on.

    I go between front of house and back of house doing a range of jobs in the resturant.

    Not sure how I would look in a skirt and blouse haha :laugh: think I'm more suited to being a waiter than a waitress.

    Thanks for the advice though :smile:
