Excersice/work calories

Winterbaby2014

I have set my activity level to sedentary and enter my calories for work separately. (I'm a bar tender/waitress). Some days I will be walking for 6+ hours, and some days I just tend the bar (so just standing really).

Is this okay to do?

Mfp says that 420 mins of 2mph walking burns over 1000 calories? I think that sounds like a lot?

I'd trust what it says.

I personally wouldn't count it. It's your job and you do it all the time so your body is conditioned to it and although it is definitely work and is tiring it isn't the same as "working out" your body. You have a more active job than somebody in an office, but it doesn't get your heart going and you're not concentrating on good form while you're working.

I wouldn't log the calories you burn while working just put it in the back of your mind and think of it as a bonus so you aren't tempted to eat back those calories!
