Calories burned from job?

I noticed this site doesnt have a way of adding the calories you burn doing your job. Should I add that or is that somehow already taken into consideration. I know when filling out profile it asks about your activity level. I went to another site I have used and it says I burn 1364 just doing my job. My calorie budget for the whole days is only like 1390. Help.

    I have an active job, and so I put that I have an active lifestyle, and the site counts the calories from that, and I don't have to enter them as exercise. Right now it's the holidays for me, so I've switched it to sedentary lifestyle, and it readjusted the number of calories I am using up.

    I would just change your activity level and not add any activities from work into your diary as exercise.

    The only time I would add work as exercise is if you do something that is much much more than your usual day to day activites.
