I do manual labor everyday. I dig holes sometimes in excess of 3 feet and sometimes a few a day. Also im walking all day long from my work van to the back yard and etc... Question is does anyone have any idea of how many calories someones burns doing this?

    If you do this every day, I wouldn't count it as exercise. Instead I would set your diet profile to "very active".

    ^This.

    Then MFP will calculate your caloric deficit taking into account that you get lots of exercise in your day. Just remember on the weekends when you aren't working hard that you need to extra viligant about not exceeding your goal.
