I'm painting my living room this week, and its by far more exercise than I'd do on a normal day, so I feel like i should add it to exercise, but I don't know how to put it into my fitness pal. suggestions?

Try finding a site that can calculate it. I found this but idk how accurate it is....

You know you need to paint the house, but you're lacking the motivation. Does it help to know that three hours of house painting will burn 1,026 calories? And by putting on that second coat, you might drop a whole pants size.
