    I would mark it as sedentary. This way it gives a lower minimum to work with. I am up and walking a lot at work even though I have a desk job. I still marked it as sedentary and have lost weight consistently. Good luck! :)

    I definitely agree. I try to underestimate burned calories and overestimate my intake so there's a bit of a cushion.
