Shoveling snow in march

Should I really count shoveling snow as a cardiovascular exercise in the my fitness pal counter? Not sure how accurate it is, it's saying like over 200 cals burned for roughly 25 mins. Maybe I shouldn't count it so I won't be tempted to eat the difference? Lol, what do you guys do for things like that? I guess maybe I'm getting desperate to eat, or only cheating myself.

Did you exert effort? Did you sweat? Did your heart rate accelerate? If so, then it was exercise.

Haha yeah just feels like I'm cheating. Oh well I won't log it and pretend it never happened.0

shoveling snow is an awesome calorie burn....0

Hmm...I was wondering how to get a little extra exercise in today, since I've decided not to drive all the way downtown for my training group run tonight. Snow shoveling it is!0

If I have to put up with this crap I'm definitely logging it as exercise0

Took me 80 minutes to clear my driveway and the street around my mailbox, and I worked up a good sweat. You bet I logged it! Cut the time by 20% when I entered it because I suspect MFP overestimates, but the rest is going towards some nice rewards.0

My thoughts exactly - I logged it! 0 -
Weather guys call this "heart attack snow"...be careful everyone!
Hopefully this is the last time for a few months.0 -
So I counted it...and then ate for the difference..still finshed out at 200 calories below what I could have! Guess that's the positive side to snow in March! Everyone have a healthy and safe day!0
