How long were you picking berries for?

I would say that it depends on how long you did it for and how fast of a pace you were at. If you got your heart rate up and kept it up for a while, then yes I would call it exercise, but If you were relaxed while doing it, I would say no. Look in the exercise database and find something that is similar and use those cals if you think it is close enough...but I would be very careful that you don't over-estimate. My end all tip is to get a heart rate monitor and use it...they are great!! Hope that is a little bit of help...good luck in your weight loss journey!!!!

You could probably enter it as "gardening, general"... it's the same type of motion and exertion as pulling weeds. Exercise doesn't have to be a heart pumping sweat fest, so yes, you can count it. But, do make sure you count all that you ate as well

I picked strawberries for about 45 mintues then brought them home and cleaned them and only eat 8 med. ones the rest I cut-up and put in the frig for another day.
