Hello So every day I do an average of about 13000 steps and that burns about 600 calories now does this count as excercise calories ? Or is it not taken into account . x

    Is it all at once? Or more than normal? If it's just walking around the office and around at home, I generally don't take into account the "normal daily activity" stuff.

    This should be taken into account by your activity level, unless you are doing a portion of that for a workout.

    Most of it would fall under normal daily activity even at sedentary. If you are set to active or lightly active probably all of it would. If you are set to sedentary you could probably log 1/3 (or so) of those as exercise. But if you do that every day it might be better to just adjust your setting to lightly active.

    Is this a workout?

    Or are you literally counting your steps throughout the day?

    She could have a pedometer.

    13,000 isn't that much over a full day. If it was a brisk walk all at once then it would be exercise. If it's little bits throughout the day then no.

    Sedentery still includes some e excise- it's not your BMR. When I linked my Fitbit and was set to suede terry, I had to do 5000 steps before it counted anything e tra so I'd on,y add the extra 8000 steps
