I did mulch for 4 hours!? how do I calculate how many calories I burned?! I looked on one website and it said 318 cals per hour which would mean I burned 1272 calories!! is this accurate?! thoughts?!

    I know when I am shoveling while gardening, I am working up a crazy sweat. But don't eat 1200 cals back, that's too much you would have to binge or eat something unhealthy, just enjoy the extra burn!

    That is a nice workout. Maybe record it as Cleaning (Heavy, Vigorous Effort). Obviously, you worked hard than that, but it might give you a good idea of how many calories burned that you can eat back?

    The only way to eat an additional 1200 calories of food over an entire day is to eat unhealthy things?

    You call 1200 cals a binge. I call it lunch
