Hi, I found this list showing various activities/exercises and the calories you lose. Not sure if they are all correct, but it might help with a few :)

    Child care sitting/kneeling-dressing, feeding 219kcal/hour

    Child care standing-dressing, feeding 255kcal/hour



    This is from that link - thanks - so fun to read. I do home daycare - kinda laughed at those cals burned in an hour. I'm going to have to test it out and wear my hrm for an hour today to see how accurate those numbers are. :heart:

    I know! I did wonder about some of them. Almost like I want to have another kid so I can run behind him and lose some calories :)

    Just keep in mind that 1) the calories you burn doing these things will vary based on your weight and 2) most of these lists give total calories burned. If you're logging calories in MFP in order to gauge how much to eat, you should only be logging NET calories burned, or you'll double-logging some calories and overeat.
