Probably obvious but..

I don't know what to put for my activity level.

This summer I have started working part time for my father (only ~4 days a week), i'm sort of a laborer for him i guess. I pick up and haul scrap wood and metal, sweep, help out on the construction job ect. So i was thinking i would put it on moderately active.

• At work - you are very active much of the day
• At home - you rarely sit and do heavy housework or gardening
• Exercise - you exercise several times a week and push yourself pretty hard

buuuuuuttttt, at home i don't do heavy housework or gardening i'm usually riding my horse, taking walks, doing farm chores for dad. and as for excercising, i don't really. The closest thing to that would be going for a walk some nights.

i don't knowwwwww.

I always keep my at the very lowest setting, then add anything I do....I have a desk job so I don't tend to add that...but anything else I do like heavy cleaning, my workouts, if I do something fun outside get added in.

I guess my rational is that I'd rather have an underestimate of what I'm burning than an overestimate, cuz they are just estimates in general anyway. Cuz if I take the day off from work, or working out or whatever, your cals expended for that day go down and it gives the same cal range every day.....so like if you didn't work those 2 days out of the week, you'd have a higher cals expended listed than what you really did, ya know?

lol, then again, I've been on this site so long (and am at maintenance now) that I pretty much dont ever need to log anything to know what my #s are! haah

Definitely, at the minimum, moderately active--I would think from what you desribe that you are keeping active and burning those calories!
