I'm a stay at home mom to a 19 month old and I usually workout 5 to 6 days a week. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/activity-levels#post-2151155 Tue, 21 Apr 2015 11:26:37 +0000 blackbird 2151155@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Usually i check the "active" or "very active" box depending on what kind of training I'm doing. I don't have an active job, but I exercise frequently/intensely and have a high lean body mass....and shorting myself on calories doesn't help!</p> <p>But right now, I'm just a puffy pregnant mess...at least I can still squat 150 lbs? Sigh. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/activity-levels#post-2151145 Tue, 21 Apr 2015 11:18:56 +0000 mrbee 2151145@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>MyFitnessPal has four activity levels in their app:</p> <p>Sedentary:. Appropriate for: Those who work at a desk job AND are sedentary at home, with light or no exercise and low LBM (lean body mass – how much muscle you have); Usually NOT appropriate for stay-at-home moms/dads with young children. </p> <p>Lightly Active: Appropriate for: Most people with young children, who are otherwise sedentary; Many who have a desk job but exercise moderately and have a moderate LBM%; Those who stand a lot at work, but don’t really walk around a lot or lift heavy items, etc. </p> <p>Active: Appropriate for those who have an active job (some nurses, waitresses, laborers, etc) and exercise moderately-frequently, and especially those who have a high LBM%. </p> <p>Very Active: Appropriate for those who have a very active job (trainers, some laborers, some athletes, some warehouse workers), and exercise frequently and have a high or very high LBM%. </p> <p>What's your activity level? I think I'm Lightly Active during the week, and Active on the weekend! </p>
