    If without special effort you are getting more than 4000 steps - you are not Sedentary.
    Even if a tad lower on weekdays but well above on weekends from normal daily activity - you are not Sedentary.
    Yeah, I have to give what you've said a bit of credit. I may in fact be misguiding myself with lethargy from undereating at times and certain nutrition deficiencies, iron being a big one. And then translating that into believing I'm Sedentary.

    Read the FAQ in the Fitbit group stickies, first section for some general guidelines to combining the two.
    PERFECT! THANK YOU!

    I gained 40 kg when I had cancer in 2015/16. The prognosis was not brilliant, so I decided to eat what I want. Now that I am better I have to lose the weight. I eat what is recommended by MFP; 1200 calories, but exercise off 1400+ calories a day. I monitor this with an Apple watch. I lose about 200 grams a day. I am a little tired after I exercise - mostly deep water running - but in general feel great.

    the fact that I do have hair loss (is that a nutrition deficiency, I wonder), I am tired all the time (is this situational depression though).

    in my life anaemia and rheumatoid arthritis both had that pair of effects. and then too, r.a. comes with a side of anaemia for many people. it could have any one of a number of causes in your case, but getting your nutrition level sorted out so it matches your body's needs would be a starting point anyway.

    not that that's helpful in any very concrete kind of way. just wanted to chime in to encourage you to eat :tongue:
