Should I count my steps as "exercise"?

I have a active job where I do between 12000-15000 steps a day as a delivery driver. Do I count those into my exercise or just show that I lead an active lifestyle in my profile?

    Your job isn't exercise. Set to active, and if you lose faster than expected over the next 4-6 weeks (discounting the initial water weight loss), go up to very active. If you have an activity tracker you can link to MFP, you can set to any level provided you have negative adjustments enabled for those days where you're less active.
