okay so i logged in my work exercise (im a server so im walking at 4.0 for like 5 hours) i logged that in and it gave me 2,000 more calories to eat.. i could even begin to try and eat that much more... is that bad? and is it also bad if i go to the gym after work and not eat those exercise calories? thanks

you walk at 4MPH nonstop for 5 hours? sorry, but no, you don't. You stop at tables and take orders, you stand at a computer and enter orders, you stand and talk to people. Better to list your lifestyle as active and not log work as an exercise. Yes, you're burning some calories but your exercise logging should be exercise you do additional to your normal lifestyle day. If you do eat all those calories, you'll gain weight because you're not really burning ADDITIONAL calories beyond what you've been burning normally every day in your normal life. You don't log "breathing" as an exercise even though you burn calories doing it. You don't list "showering" as an exercise. And you don't log your normal work day as exercise. Don't mean this to sound harsh, tone of voice doesn't come through my keyboard. Just trying to explain.
