Activity level

Hi everyone! I was wondering if any of you trying to gain weight do any physical activity in the day. If you could give an example of what you eat and the activities you do in the day that would be great! Just so I can get an idea of how much people are eating and how much exercise they are getting at the same time.

I think I have been doing this all wrong. Logging activity

I just realized after reading someone else's post that I have my settings at moderate activity and been logging all my exercise. I have wondered why I haven't been loosing with how active I am and having decent deficits. So I went in and changed my settings to sedentary and will log my activities. I am confused what to do now. I am a 42 yr old female, 5'6" and weigh 156 and want to be 145. CC put me at 1200 calories. That seems so low. So will I eat more to keep a deficit around 500 cal a day?

Question regarding my activity level and calories needed

Hey everyone!  

When I go to college, I had free access to the pretty nice campus gym, so I would workout 4 days a week.  Usually over the summer I get a gym membership.  I have a busy job, however.  I work at Chipotle (its a mexican fast food type restaurant) and it is VERY busy.  I work 40 hours a week but my shift is usually 4 to midnight closing.

I was going to purchase my gym membership, but I was pretty hesitant to do it because I don't have much spare time outside of work, it costs a decent amount, and I actually am so exhausted after work I wonder how many calories I am actually burning.

I was just wondering if you think my job is exercise enough, or if I should increase it.  I don't know if I should even count it as exercise, but it sure as hell feels like I'm getting a workout.  My legs ache the next day.  I work 8 hour shifts and i get one half hour break.  The rest of the time I am serving customers in mass amounts quickly as possible, frantically making burritos.  And I usually close, so that involves scrubbing the tortilla and quesadilla press clean and cleaning out the food wells, doing dishes, etc.  

I am a 5 foot 9, 20 year old female weighing in at 135 pounds.  I was just wondering what others input is.  Am I fooling myself by telling myself I'm burning a significant amount of calories and that work is a workout, or am I not giving myself enough credit?  How many calories do you think I should eat, what do you think my activity level is?  Help!

Thank you for your time!
