I know I probably shouldn't count this, but I ate generously today and can use all the exercise I can log. How would you count stacking wood?:huh:

    Depending on your weight, I would say about 5 calories a minute if you were constantly going.

    I usually google what I'm looking for -- find a couple of sites that have what I'm looking for -- take the average or, if 2 have basically the same, use that.

    Here's what I just found for wood - you'll need to put in your figures... then add your own exercise to the database.

    That was where I got my stats from. They have good information for activities even Tribal dancing and calories burned if you are employed as a chamber maid!!! (Some days feel just like that!)

    Very helpful.
    I used to have a couple sites I could go to that I collected along the way, but somehow my favorites got erased. I could find chopping wood, but not stacking.
