i'm not sure if i should do active or lightly active. i'm a college student so i spend a decent amount of time walking from class to class but i'm also sitting in lecture at least three hours a day. so should i do active or lightly active?

    I consider myself very active (I swim, run, bike, and have three very busy kids) however I work a desk job, so I erred on the side of caution and selected "lightly active" - that way I don't over-estimate my calorie needs.

    Max - you crack me up every time! :laugh:

    I put sedentary because when I'm not walking to class I'm either in class, studying for class/doing homework, vegged out or exercising. :smile:
