can I count standing for 8 hours straight an excercise?
I worked last night and stood for eight hours straight without sitting down. I calculated the calories burned and it was over 1000. So could I count standing as an excercise?

    I believe that when you first make your MFP profile, it asks you what your daily activity level is. I chose "lightly active" because I stand anywhere from 8-12 hrs a day. I don't count that as a workout because I think that it is already calculated into your calories.

    I would second that. Do not count it unless it is activity that you do not consider a routine part of your life.

    Even if I only do this once a week? Lol. But I understand what you both are saying, so I won't count it. (:
