I am wondering if I should be at lightly active or sedentary. I work a desk job and track about 10,000- 18,000 steps a day. I do 4 days of weight training for 30 minutes and after I weight train I walk on treadmill for 45 minutes and 3 days I do H.I.T . I am also synced with Fitbit. What would your recommendations be

    If you are synced with fitbit it won't matter too much. The adjustment you get is the difference between what mfp thinks you will burn based on your activity level and what fitbut shows you actually burn. If you set to sedentary and you are more active then you will probably get a pretty high adjustment. If you raise your activity level you will get smaller adjustments.

    If your job requires you to experience bouts of sitting for 1 hour interrupted by no more than 5 minutes (a quick trip to the bathroom doesn't interrupt your bout of sitting), you are sedentary. All your other activities on your own time are exercise. Your synced Fitbit, as kgirlhart explains, alleviates your need to care.
