So, I work an office job where I sit on my butt for 8 hours a day, BUT I work out nearly 5 times a week for at least an hour.

    I would count it as sedentary, then log your exercise.

    According to MFP yes, and you get credited for extra calories on the days you workout after you enter into the exercise tab. In other words you should ignore your exercise when figuring out if you are sedentary or not.

    If you don't want to log exercise everyday, you can change your setting to light active or active.

    Agree with this.

    I am the same way. Sit at the office all day then workout later and log it.
