    I log it when it makes sense to log it. For example, washing my two 90 lbs dogs burns 300 (according to my HRM) so I will log that, carrying the laundry up/down stairs burns a bunch of calories, as does mowing the lawn. I will log it as light and then input the calories that my HRM says. I don't count stuff like washing dishes, running the vacuum, or picking up toys because I don't really burn any calories doing those things.

    If I sweat doing it I log it. I don't always eat the calories back though. Sometimes I know I am going to have a high calorie day and the exercise helps. Either way, your body is going to tell you if you are doing it right. It will either lose or it won't. Listen to you body and don't worry so much that everything is perfect in MFP. It is all really an estimate anyway.

    I don't log it either. Seems like cheating for me. Part of everyday life.

    I call it part of my every day life and dont log it at all.

    Also in agreement here. I don't look for extra calories to log. The only things I log are real workouts, the rest is just life.
