How do you estimate how many calories you burned in an afternoon of housework or gardening or fence painting/?

    House work I generally wouldn't log at all because that would be part of your daily activity. Painting a fence or serious gardening you can type it into the exercise & it should come up. Just watch out on how many calories it works out, MFP tends to be over zealous with giving away calories - the best way to keep track is with a heart rate watch.

    If I use the exercise tracker on MFP I tend to make it half of the calories that it estimates just to make sure & then I'm a bit hesitant to ever eat back those cals.
