Hey, I'm having a hard time deciding what my activity level would be. I'm a student, so do some walking around college. Some days I walk to to train station (20 minutes) but only on average about twice a week. I also do 20-30 minutes of bodyweight strength training 3-4 days a week, and bike ride or ice skate for 20-30 minutes 3 times a week. Sometimes I do gentle yoga too.

Would this be considered lightly active?

    I'd put that down as sedentary and then add the exercise cals separately on the days you do them. If you're a student, you're going to spend a lot of time sitting.. the cals you burn just walking to and fro a couple times a week are negligible in the grand scheme.. this way you might underestimate your calorie burn, but that's better than overestimating it.
