I am beginning my first bulk, looking to increase muscle mass after dieting my way to skinny fat. I mostly do heavy lifting, 3 times a week, and do a few hours of walking on the weekend.

When calculating my calories, am I lightly active because I do heavy lifting, or is this mostly for cardio? Or do I pick sedentary and log my strength training to eat back the calories?

    It's probably most accurate to use sedentary and then log the walks and the lifting.

    Unless your other day/night activity/job involves a reasonable amount of moving around rather than sitting at a desk all the time, in which case you need a higher activity level selected.
