I would say sedentary for MFP and the add in your exercise when you get it in.
I walk for about 2-3 hours a day (in total, according to my activity tracker) and go to the gym for 30 min 3x a week, and I find lightly active about right for me.0 -
Are you using MFP or TDEE method?
If this is for MFP settings, I would set your profile to lightly active (this will make allowance for the walking you do), then log your cycling as exercise on the days you do it.0 -
Thank you guys. I've actually only just discoverd 'myfitnesspal' although I have only just stopped trying to lose weight but maintain it instead. I have lost 5lbs which I was pretty proud of!0

We'll done on reaching your weight loss goal. If you find you are still losing on your current settings, then try increasing the activity settings to a point where you are maintaining at that calorie goal.0

To be honest I lost 5lbs being sedentary but eating a little fewer than my BMR, but if you want quicker results obvisouly exercise and diet is the answer
