So my wife picked up the UP yesterday and has been using MFP for a couple of weeks. She specifically wanted to get the UP to get credit for her movement during the day. How ever she ain't happy. Shes not getting any calorie adjustment from UP. I believe she has her activity level in MFP too high.

I run mine at Sedentary and just work off the calorie adjustment and exercise logs from MapMyFitness.

So the question to the crew here. What kind of activity level (bars) would you expect to see (absent sleep and exercise periods) for:

Sedentary:
Lightly Active:
Active:
Very Active:

My thoughts would be along these lines.

Sedentary: Predominately no bar to small yellow bars.
Lightly Active: Some no bar, predominantly 1/2 to full yellow bars
Active: some no bar, and some 1/2 to full yellow, but predominantly orange bars
Very Active: equal mix of orange and red bars.

Second half of the question. If we assumed the "activity" level was more about your steady state metabolism, at what point would the combination of exercise and down time (eg office worker that gets 10 miles a day in walks) cause you to go ahead and upgrade your activity level?

Anyway, just some questions and some food for thought.

Thanks,
Steve
