Chef - cardio?

princess_k19

So I’m new to this

I am a chef in a hotel and I looked up how many calories are burnt in 8 hours of cooking and food prep (under cardio) and apparently it’s 1901?!?!

How true is this? My family and non chef friends don’t believe my job is active! Ha!

Thanks guys x

Your job is part of your activity setting - not purposeful exercise.
If you set your activity setting correctly for your job and lifestyle then adding your 8 hrs working as exercise would be double counting and a recipe for weight gain.

Do you like how I worked recipe into that?
