Right, I am wanting to start cutting. I see that if I change the activity level from low to high on this it changes calorie intake quite a bit.i am an active person,I do a fair bit of walking,football practice with mates for at least3 hrs a day if not more and I go to the gym for an hour a day doing a leg,push pull workout I want to have a caloric deficit to lose some fat would it be better to set my fitness on this app to my weight,low exercise level and track my food intake and sports or should I just set it to active and put my self in a deficit

    Exercise is not included in MFP's activity level. Set it according to your day to day activities (i.e. if you have a desk job), then log your exercises and eat what it tells you.

    I am in collage so walk class to class. Go to the gym Monday to Friday and play football for around 3 hrs a day should I set it as low and then track the gym and football work? Thanms
