I worked in the garden for over 2 hours today and MFP gave me a silly amount of calories burned for that. I've chosen to disregard what it says because "gardening" can run the gamut from gently snipping off flower heads to weeding to digging holes and moving heavy plants. Clearly they all don't burn the same number of calories!

    I usually only log exercise that is intended as exercise.
    For example, going for a run or hitting the gym.
    Gardening/cleaning/etc would all fall under lifestyle.

    I agree, I treat those "extras" as a bonus calorie burn.
