Does Standing/walking count?

I have a 2nd job that requires me to stand for nearly 5 hours at a drive thru, taking orders & handing them out. On occasion I may wash the dishes but I do mop & sweep a lot. Is this considered as activity?

    In my opinion, it does. You are certainly more active than I am sitting at a computer all day.

    What I'd do is set your activity level on mfp to lightly active and it should give you a couple hundred extra calories for that. I sit at a desk all day so I have mine set at sedentary.
