    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.

    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.

    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!

    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.

    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 :) good look
