Activity level vs step tracking?

So as I review my diary from last week I know I was adding the calories from walking according to my Samsung watch and Google fit for confirmation.


Now I am stuck wondering if I should have my diary on lowest setting if I will be adding these calories or if lightly active is still okay. I won't normally add steps but just special cases when I am a tourist and walking for hours etc.

I will add my normal exercising to diary but wasn't sure if it is better to add calories from steps daily and drop to sedentary , add steps daily and remain under lightly active, ignore steps and stay lightly active.

    If you're going by calories burned on your tracker, I'd drop to sedentary and add from there.
