Should I choose "sedentary" or "lightly active"?

I am a stay-at-home mum currently. I do some housework and cooking every day, we also have two flights of stairs. We do not own a car, so we walk everywhere. I do all the food shopping, take the kids to the park and so on. However, I sit down for about eight hours a day, due to freelance work.

Which setting is most suitable for me?

    I would say either slightly active or if you are also doing an exercise regimen I would say active.

    pick sedentary and then track everything you do in terms of exercise. and make sure you eat back the calories you burn in exercise. :) this is the best way to do it in my opinion!
