Hey everybody i am a newbie to this group and i have a question i work as a cashier 4 hours durning the week and 7 hours on the weekend. most of the time i dont get a chance to get to the gym (also have a full time job). My question is that i want to add my parttime work as a exercise, but there is nothing under that says (working on your feet and walking for 4hrs) so i have been using lite house work for 3 1/2 hrs. Reason why is because i stand, moving both arms, twisting, lifting and walking for 3 1/2 hours. Can i use that?

    Personally I wouldn't count this as exercise. Does your heart rate go up? Are you breaking a continuous sweat?

    On Mfp options why not change your lifestyle to moderately active.
    Or even better, invest in a heart rate monitor which logs your movements and in turn calories burnt so that you can get a better estimate of just how many cals you burn while at work.
