Help choosing activity level


Quote  |  Reply

Hello all!

 Just got a quick question because I am a bit confused about selecting my activity level. I have a desk job, so much of my time is spent sitting at my desk answering phone calls and what have you. Also, when at home, I will be probly at my OTHER desk crusing around the internet. Now because of these two things I was thinking Sedentary, but I work out quite a bit as well. I generally wake up every morning and spend 30-60 mins on the treadmill doing interval training, medium intensity. Also, I do 1-2 hours of high intensity martial arts training 3-4 nights a week.

In some of the more experienced members opinions, am I sedentary, or light activity level?

it might work for you to enter "sedentary" and then actually log your activities for a day or two, to see what your real "burned calories" are.   that's what i did, and it gave me a pretty good idea of what i need, both for weight loss, and for maintenance.
Thanks alot Elin, I will do just that!

So you can log your weight -- which allows you to do the following:
  1. Plot your weight curve
  2. Analyze the trend of your weight (see under Recent in the figure above)
  3. Determine the projected target date (see under Overall in the figure above)
