Calories burned while waitressing?

Does anyone know how I could calculate the number of calories burned while I'm waitressing? I'm not walking 100% of the time I'm at work, so I'm not sure how to input it into MFP. Any suggestions would be great. Thanks!

what is your activity level set to? I would play with that and over time see if it works. If you set your activity level higher MFP will give you more calories a day. That way it is somewhat factored in all ready.0

↑↑↑ Yes, since it is part of your daily life.0

If I waitressed every day I would set my activity level higher. I only waitress two nights a week, so I count that as extra activity outside of my normal routine. Incase anyone else checks this thread for answers, I found these two resources with an internet search.
