    I believe it overestimates. For example, for "heavy vigorous cleaning" MFP states 190 cals per hour. I do this for a job, and it is very hard, heavy work, and I don't believe it uses that amount of calories. When I counted even some of that work as exercise and ate the calories back, I lost no weight at all. I don't count anything except strength training, as that is something new in my life that I never did when I was obese. I have lost 50lb since I stopped eating calories back.
