I put it as light cleaning. But I really think that it depends what normal activity levels you have set on your profile whether you actually should or not. I add it because I have put down that I have a sedentary lifestyle (office based job). But if you have put down a more active lifestyle you have in effect already taken account of it. Just my opinion though. Good luck! x

I don't list it personally, as its part of my everyday routines which I have included in my set up of being light active. If you have put sedentry, then I think its ok to list housework but if not, be careful, as you don't want to allow yourself calories that you have already been allowed. Hope this helps x

I am really not sure also but in my case I do not count house work, to me that is an everyday thing that just needs to be done anyway. I guess I just think it as an extra unless you are shoveling snow. I have also noticed that the calories burned is off a lot on this website for some people. I would invest in a good heart rate monitor that counts cals burned to wear when exercising. Me I have a bodybugg. Good luck
