Unsure how to log a beach trip.

Howdy all!

Went with the wife and kids to the beach for a couple hours today, we swam, we horsed around, you know the normal beach stuff.

Problem is I don't know how I should log that "exercise" since I know I burnt a decent amount of calories.

Thanks for any help!

I don't log those kind activities. I just enjoy them and consider them a plus to increase my NEAT, and not a justification to eat more. Honestly, you probably didn't burn as many calories as you think.

Glad that you and your family had fun.

I'm very sedentary, usually, outside of intentional (logged) exercise. Occasionally, if I spend *many hours* on my feet meandering around and maybe doing a bit more than walking (lifting, carrying, whatever), like at a festival or outdoor volunteer gig, I'll estimate the total number of hours on my feet, and log half that long as slow walking. It's a spitball. If it isn't lots of hours, I'd just take it as a calorie bonus, not bother to log . . . even now, in maintenance.
