Logging work

I work at a canteen, where I take orders, cook, and scoop ice cream. I log it as fishing, because I think all the standing is the same. What would you guys log it as?

    I'd have to consider how many days a week and how many hours I'm working. If it's 5 days/40 hours a week or more, I probably wouldn't log it. Instead I would set my goals to include that I am lightly active instead of sedentary (because currently I have a desk job).

    However, if it's a part-time job, then what you're doing (logging it as light activity like fishing) is probably fine.

    I would change my profile to "Lightly Active."

    What the other's suggested is good, the other option is getting something like a fitbit and sync it with your MFP and that will adjust your calories burned by the amount of movement.
