Sahm of toddlers. What activity level do you set it at? Lightly active or active?

    I'm a Sahm of a two year old and a 10 week old baby. I put active as I hardly sit down in the day. Things like taking the kids out, the constant lifting, hanging out washing, washing floors, general housework etc. if your days are busy ( which I'm sure it is with toddlers!) and your not spending the day on the couch then I think it's fair to put active :smile:

    I put light activity also, but I do spend quite a bit of time at the computer working...

    I put it on lightly active, I feel like under estimating is better than over... But that's just me :)

    Oops I just double checked and yeah I have my setting as lightly active. I knew I selected the second one but forgot that sedentary was first (if that makes sense!) I agree with what others have said, probably better to be under.
