My job is a produce clerk at a local supermarket. I never stop moving, I'm always lifting and moving heavy boxes (25 to 60 lbs), traying up produce, walking here and there and back again, going up and down stairs, etc. Its definitely burning more calories than what you do at say, a desk job. But.. I'm not sure how to log it as exercise? I tried doing cleaning, light effort but I put it for 510 minutes (8.5 hour shift I worked today) and it came out at like.. 1500 calories! I highly doubt I burned THAT many..

Any ideas? Or should I not even bother trying?
Thanks!

    I don't think that I would log any of that as exercise.....You should have your activity level set for active if you are go go go all day long. This way you will be allowed the correct calorie intake for the day, then any exercise you do out side of work is what you should be logging.

    That was something else I was thinking of. Right now, I'm pretty sure I'm set at sedentary, but I'll have to change that.
    Thank you! :)
