So I work in a hospital. Sometimes it is super busy, Like I'm walking all day long for nearly 7 hours. When i registered to "my fitness pal" I put "light" as my daily activity due to the fact that I am per Diem. So on days that I work can I add that to my exercise??

TIA

    Short answer:
    Nope

    Long answer: If you plan on eating back those calories then no. If you don't plan on cheating on your diet and just want to brag to your MFP friends that OMG i burnt 500 calories working, then sure but never be on my friends list please.
