Active Job. Do I count as exercise or activity level?

jackilynn30

I have a very active job as a nursing aid at a nursing home. I am up on my feet about 7 hours of the 8. Walking, bending, lifting people and running at times. I am not sure how this should be counted if I would have a different activity level or count it has exercise. My schedule alternates 4 days a week and 6 days a week. Anyone have any idea how to count this?:huh:

I think you're suppose to count that as your activity level.

kristenanna

considering it isn't everyday you could log it as exercise and keep your activity level as sedentary?

Since you average 5 days a week and 8 hrs a day it should be your activity level, that's why the examples they give are of professions. On days you have off try and cut your cals a little.
