Seeing as I put my activity level at 'fairly active' on MFP, do I need to include my exercise done while doing my job? (I walk dogs as my PT job). My pedometer says I walked 2 miles. I don't want to accidentally credit myself for what's already being accounted for and eat over my calories.

Thanks all!

    If you included the activity you do in your job in determining your overall activity level - and it sounds like you did - then you need not and should not list it again as exercise. You've theoretically already counted those calories burned.

    Good luck in achieving your goals on MFP!

    Nope just add additional exercise above what you consider 'normal'

    No, it's already accounted for. :)
