Anyone have a suggestion for what I should log as my exercise activity from packing boxes today to move?

    I believe there's a "Packing boxes" or "Moving boxes" listed in the cardio database.

    Was it that much of a workout? These kinds of activities should be already included in your caloric intake when you choose your activity level.... Unless you are like insanely sedentary.

    I disagree, have you ever packed to move? If you're normal activity is sedentary and you spend half a day packing boxes, you'll definitely be burning more calories. Seriously, compared to sitting at a desk all day and only getting up for trips to the bathroom and lunch and such, packing boxes is far more active.
