Should I consider myself moderate active or very active.
I exercise most days , either a 20 min HIIT , or swim, or run and I walk daily fir about 50 minutes.
I am an active person, don't sit fir my job, but don't have an super active job either

    Here's the explanation: https://support.myfitnesspal.com/hc/en-us/articles/360032625391-How-does-MyFitnessPal-calculate-my-initial-goals

    You'll have to pick one method and settings and use them for a couple months to see if you're close.

    Log food for two months at one of the settings. Adjust AFTER you have that trending dataset.

    Base it on day to day non exercise activity.

    Don't sit for job means active generally

    Don't count any of the bolded - log that separately. Your activity level refers to your job/lifestyle outside of that sort of exercise.

    Start at Lightly Active and in a month review all your settings and how your progress or lack of it is and adjust from there.
