Activity Level
I'm not sure what I should put in as my activity level for my settings. I do sit around most fo the day infront of a computer or at home. however I workout or I'm active every day of the week.
What should I put for my activity level?
This sounds like Light Activity to me. :)
It depends entirely on how active your are "every day of the week". Is it light activity, moderately intense, vigorous, etc.?
Edit: For example, I spend 6 to 10 hours in my office in front of the computer 5 days a week but this time of year I also ride my bicycle 150 to 200 miles a week so I set my activity level on Very Active. I change it in the late fall when I cut back on the riding.

So do you also log in your bike ride? In other words, you have a Very Active base setting then add a bike ride to your daily activity? That way you can eat more because you're Very Active + a long bike ride?

I put Moderate Activity for that. I figured 2 out of 3 of the items listed put me there.
