I have a very physical job in the medical field. I am on my feet all day and do a lot of walking and lifting. How can I know how many calories I burn each day? Anyone else have a similar job and can help?

    The only true answer will come with wearing a HRM. BUT, MFP isn't really designed for you to count normal daily activity as "calories burned." You control that by adjusting your activity level. Honestly, you'd be doing yourself a disservice by counting that as calories burned, IMO.
