Article Summary

Carb Manager uses your activity level to help determine your diet and health goals and to analyze your progress. Select an activity level that matches your lifestyle.

Important: Keep your activity level current. If your activity level changes over time, update your activity level to ensure Carb Manager provides you with the most accurate information.
  1. Go to Settings icon Settings.
  2. In the My Settings section, select Profile icon My Profile.
  3. Select your current Activity level.
    Important: If you turned on the option to deduct energy (calories or kilojoules) when you log exercise, be sure to select an activity level that matches your daily lifestyle and your intention to log exercise in Carb Manager. If you previously set a high activity level because you exercise and your daily activity primarily consists of exercise that you intend to log in Carb Manager, then select Sedentary as your activity level to ensure Carb Manager doesn’t count the energy that you burn twice.
