I'm wondering which activity level I should choose as mine on cc to figure out how much I should be eating. I've chosen light activity but I'm not sure if it's right or not. I do have a job where I sit a lot, but I walk home just about everyday, it's only half a mile though. And I work out(elliptical, usually) generally a half-hour to hour 5 days out of the week and I do little things around the apartment and run the usual errands. Would this be considered light or moderate?
What I do is set it to the lowest, the sedentary setting. Then I add everything in, 8 hours at work, 2 hours driving, and my workouts, if I clean or do laundry or go shopping. I'd rather underestimate than over estimate and use more cals than CC says than less!
